Rockingham County Municipal Complex – New England Real Estate Journal’s Project of the Month
TFMoran was proud to provide structural engineering services for the Rockingham County Municipal Complex, a 110,000-square-foot civic facility in Brentwood, New Hampshire designed by Warrenstreet Architects and constructed by Harvey Construction, recently highlighted as the New England Real Estate Journal’s Project of the Month. Check out pages 37–39 for the full article highlighting this impactful project and its role in the region!
The project consolidates multiple Rockingham County departments into a single, modern municipal campus, improving operational efficiency while enhancing public access and safety. The facility includes administrative offices, public meeting spaces, secure law enforcement and corrections functions, and long-term infrastructure designed to support the county’s evolving needs.
TFMoran worked closely with the project team to develop a durable and efficient structural system capable of supporting the building’s varied uses, security requirements, and architectural goals. We are proud of the level of engineering achieved on this project and the collaborative effort behind it, which has been recognized by industry peers.
TFMoran Attends Gammon Academy Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
TFMoran was honored to attend the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Easterseals Gammon Academy — a transformative project that will have lasting impact on the community and families across the state. Representing TFMoran at the event were Chief Operating Officer, Dylan Cruess, Senior Structural Engineer, Kyle Roy, and Senior Civil Project Manager, Jeremy Belanger. As the civil and structural engineering firm behind this inspiring new facility, it was a proud and emotional moment to celebrate alongside our partners and community leaders.
The morning began with a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony on the grounds of the new school. The event featured moving remarks from various board members of Easterseals NH and trustees of the Bernadine Herron Estate, as well as Manchester Mayor Jay P. Ruais, Joseph H. Campbell, President of North Branch Construction, and Steve Thiel, Assistant Vice President of Community Impact at Southern New Hampshire University. Each speaker highlighted the importance of investing in specialized, supportive education spaces for children with significant behavioral health needs.
Following the ceremony, attendees were invited on a guided tour of the new Gammon Academy. Student ambassadors paired with advisors led visitors through the bright and thoughtfully designed classrooms, multi-purpose spaces, and other interior features. One of the standout moments was viewing the brand-new, accessible, and inclusive state-of-the-art playground, a joyful and welcoming environment where every child can learn and play safely.
TFMoran’s Role in Bringing the Gammon Academy to Life

The two-story, 27,000± square foot school is located on Easterseals’ existing 20-acre campus on Zachary Road in Manchester, NH. Designed specifically to meet the needs of students ages 5 to 21 with significant behavioral health challenges, the Gammon Academy will bring vital improvements to the residential education environment, enhancing both learning and care.
As a purpose-built facility, the Academy includes flexible multi-purpose classrooms designed for up to ten students, spaces for therapy and parent visits, and technology-enhanced areas for virtual meetings, staff training, and vocational programming. These additions support Easterseals’ mission to help individuals of all abilities live, learn, work, and play throughout their lifetimes with thoughtfully integrated services.
The project was made possible through a combination of public and private funding, including a $5 million grant from the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery (GOFERR) from the State of New Hampshire, matched by an additional $5 million from Easterseals NH. Construction began in October 2023 and is expected to be completed in September 2024. TFMoran worked closely with construction manager North Branch Construction and JSA Design to ensure every detail met the highest standards of functionality, safety, and care.
The opening of the Gammon Academy marks a new chapter for Easterseals and the families it serves, and TFMoran is incredibly proud to have played a part in bringing this vital resource to life. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this facility will have for years to come!

TFMoran receives 2025 SENH Excellence in Structural Engineering Award
Manchester, NH – On Thursday, May 21, 2025, Structural Engineers of New Hampshire (SENH) held their annual Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards event at the Puritan Conference & Event Center in Manchester. Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, innovation, ingenuity, and suitability of the structural design for each of three categories: Buildings, Bridge and Transportation Structures, and Special Structures.
TFMoran was honored to receive the award in the “Buildings” category for Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood, NH, the site of a new 105,500 square foot building with 9,800 square foot enclosed courtyard. Thomas Lamb, PE, Senior Structural Engineer and Principal of TFMoran, accepted the award from SENH President, Sean Brown, PE, ENV SP .
The structural design consisted of a three-story office/support building in front of a single-story Y-shaped corrections wing with attached sallyport and enclosed courtyard. The three-story building houses the Registry of Deeds on the third floor, Attorney’s Office on the second floor and Sheriff’s Office at the first floor. The Sherriff’s office will also occupy the beginning part of the Y wing before transitioning to Corrections Department at the rear of the building. The project features a pitched gable style roof and brick façade. The building was constructed of a hybrid of steel, masonry and cold formed metal framing with intermediate reinforced masonry shear walls and special moment frames for the lateral load resisting system.
Topping Off Ceremony at Poet Hill
TFMoran is providing civil and structural engineering services for Maugel Destefano Architect’s and SMC Management Corporation’s latest project, The Poet Hill Residences, in Worcester, MA. Thursday, March 27, 2025, marked a major milestone of this project with a topping-off ceremony. This event celebrates the completion of the structural framework of the building under construction.
This project is a 210-unit, market-rate housing development located in the Poet Hill neighborhood of Worcester, MA. Situated on a 5-acre parcel along Hemans Street, the project features five stories of modern residential units above a double-podium parking garage, offering a mix of contemporary design and functionality.
The development takes full advantage of the site’s natural slope, with a residential courtyard positioned atop the parking deck, level with Hemans Street. This space will include community amenities such as gathering areas, grilling stations, and a Bocce court, creating a vibrant, resident-focused environment.
Despite the challenges posed by a harsh winter in a location atop a hill in one of the most climate-intensive cities in Massachusetts, the project has stayed ahead of schedule. Working alongside Maugel Destefano Architects and SMC Management has ensured smooth progress. Interior work has continued without delay, keeping the development on track and moving closer to completion!
