Southern New Hampshire University – A Lasting Partnership

The TFMoran team is a proud and trusted partner to Southern New Hampshire University. For over a decade, our team has provided professional services for numerous projects on their Manchester, NH campus. Below are some project highlights!

Library Learning Commons | 2014: TFMoran provided site design, permitting and land surveying services for a new 3-story 50,000sf Library and Learning Commons. The $18 million building was sited in the center of the campus, next to the dining hall. This central “campus core” helps make SNHU a walkable campus, eliminating the need for new, dedicated parking for this facility. This means we were able to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces that would typically be necessary for a new library of this size.

Tuckerman Hall | 2014: TFMoran provided site design, permitting, and land surveying for a new 20,000 SF footprint, four-story, 308-bed dormitory located on East Side Drive.

New Quad | 2015: TFMoran provided conceptual designs, landscape architecture, land surveying, permitting and civil engineering services to convert an old parking lot into a new green space. The Quad is located in the center of campus, across from the Learning Commons and Library, and Dining Hall, where there is a pedestrian light for safe crossing of North River Road. The space includes new walkways, benches and a vibrant green space, where the parking lot once occupied. The new addition of a black metal archway at the top of the stairs displays the University’s iconic leaf symbol, which is also engraved in a granite circle at the foot of the stairs.

Gustafson Center | 2017: TFMoran provided survey, site/civil engineering and permitting services for a new 2-story welcome center across the street from the University’s main entrance. The Gustafson Center houses Undergraduate Admissions, UC Marketing and the Office of Institutional Advancement.

Monadnock Hall | 2017: TFMoran provided survey, permitting, civil/site engineering and landscape architecture services for a new 4-story dormitory located on East Side Drive on the Southern New Hampshire University campus. The 103,440 SF building contains apartment-style dormitories made up of single and double bedrooms, in total 300 beds.

Kingston Hall | 2017: TFMoran provided survey, permitting, civil/site engineering, and landscape architecture for this new 5-story, 382-bed dormitory at Southern New Hampshire University. The 114,775 sf building is located on the west side of the campus.

Campus Entrance & Archway | 2018: TFMoran provided civil, traffic, and structural engineering, permitting and landscape architecture services for this new south campus entrance at Southern New Hampshire University. The archway, designed by TFM Design, welcomes students, faculty, and visitors at the meeting point of East Side Drive and North River Road, just before the Gustafson Welcome Center.

College of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics (CETA) Building | 2019: TFMoran provided survey, site design, civil engineering, and permitting for a new 3-story, 67,000sf state-of-the-art academic building located on the west side of Southern New Hampshire University’s campus. The College of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics (CETA) facility provides classrooms, labs, and hubs for students studying mechanical, electrical, computer, and aeronautical engineering.

Millyard Parking Garage | 2019: TFMoran provided survey, civil/site engineering, structural engineering, permitting and landscape architecture services for a new 6-story parking facility in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. It provides nearly 1,700 parking spaces in the southern end of the millyard area. This new precast concrete structure, located at the corner of South Commercial Street and Line Drive, provides parking for Southern New Hampshire University’s online program and administrative offices housed in the adjacent Langer Place mill.

Each and every project is important to the TFMoran team. We feel it’s a testament to our work ethic and quality when we are called on again and again by the same client. It’s a real honor to build a lasting relationships with such great institution!

TFMoran sponsors The Jenny Fund’s 6th Annual Golf Tournament

On August 2nd, 2024, TFMoran sponsored The Jenny Fund’s 6th Annual Golf Tournament at Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield, NH. Each year this tournament raises thousands of dollars for The Jenny Fund foundation. The money raised helps support the Translational Brain Tumor Immunology Laboratory at Mass General Hospital (MSG) whose research has advanced treatment for patients with cancerous brain tumors.

The Jenny Fund was created in memory of Jennifer Gureckis, a 28-year-old New Hampshire resident who lost her years long battle with recurring brain cancer in 2017. After her diagnosis, she completed her bachelor’s in biology at Saint Anselm College, and went on to work towards her RN- all while seeking out clinical trials for her treatment in the hopes that she could help contribute towards finding a cure. Although she lost her fight, this foundation allows the fight to continue on in her name.

TFMoran as always is so glad to contribute to such an amazing cause. For more information on The Jenny Fund, please visit About — The Jenny Fund.
