Celebrating Progress at Market & Main Lifestyle Center

The Market & Main Lifestyle Center is transforming the landscape of Bedford, NH, and as the project approaches its final stages, excitement is building. Sullivan Construction recently invited us to join in the celebration as the last beam was lowered into place, marking a significant milestone in this ambitious development.

Ken Beers, the Superintendent at Sullivan Construction, informed the audience about recent additions to a 725 lb. beam: an American flag and a Fir tree. He explained that the Fir tree, rooted in ancient Nordic tradition, symbolizes an accident-free construction site and brings life to a project upon completion. Beers emphasized the importance of safety, proudly noting that their project received a 100% score in last week’s safety inspection.

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!
