 Dover Middle School, Dover, NH
Project Name: Dover Middle School
Location: Dover, NH
Project Size: 167,000 SF New School
Completed: 1999
Winner of the American School & University 2000 Architectural Portfolio Award, the Dover Middle School has been nationally recognized for educational design excellence. Design challenges were twofold: the educational program, based on neighborhoods, and site constraints.
 
Classroom "neighborhoods" consist of one grade per wing on a floor, each with staff planning/meeting area and self-contained support areas for lockers, toilets, data closets and custodial support room. The layout is designed to provide teaching teams with common planning time and a team-driven schedule. Wings are separated by student services on the first floor and the media center on the second floor. The design allows for use of the gymnasium, cafeteria/kitchen and large-group room without needing to access the entire school. This limited access enhances school-wide security and also encourages community use.
 
Numerous site issues were encountered but overcome by the design. The building sits half on clay and half on ledge. Construction techniques involved steel structures utilized on clay to minimize loads and load-bearing masonry adapted for ledge.

 Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua, NH
Project Name: Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua
Location: Nashua, NH
Project Size: 22,400 SF Renovation
Completed: 1997
The Boys & Girls Clubs are committed to providing equal access and delivering a full range of activities to all boys and girls, consistent with their diverse interests and needs. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua first facilitated an existing facility analysis to establish the condition of the buildings infrastructure to support both current and future program needs. The facility analysis was invaluable in determining where and how corrective work would be undertaken to satisfy program offerings.
 
The cost of corrective work was established and a capital improvement fund raiser started. Through these generous donations, the Club updated both mechanical and electrical systems, installed a new pool filtration system, updated all interior finishes, renovated space for new locker rooms and other program spaces, addressed accessibility issues, re-roofed old and leaking roofs, and updated and refurbished the exterior appearance. The entire project was phased and completed with full Owner occupancy.
