Southern New Hampshire University – A Lasting Partnership

August 14, 2024 | 0 Comments | , , ,

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 Featured in Business NH Magazine Student Housing Article

October 7, 2022 | 0 Comments | , , ,

Business NH Magazine featured TFMoran President Bob Duval in a recent article “Meeting Demand for Student Housing”. Bob goes into detail about recent TFMoran projects for Southern New Hampshire University.

“Robert Duval, president, chief engineer and principal at TFMoran in Bedford and Portsmouth, which has completed projects at SNHU and St. Anselm College, agrees the needs and wants are changing.
TFMoran provided survey, permitting, civil/site engineering and landscape architecture for a four-story dormitory at SNHU that opened in 2017. It had amenities not typical for a college dorm at that time, such as a full kitchen, a living room and separate shower from the bathroom. The building also had a fitness center, a game room and many common areas.
‘The trend is toward individual baths,’ says Duval. ‘They are expecting maid service and kitchenettes, with the overall feel trending more toward the look of multifamily housing.’
Such changes in amenities would also make it easier to convert student housing into general apartment rentals should student enrollment decline to the point that institutions do not require as much student housing.”

TFM Bedford Mentors 3 Interns for the Summer

June 27, 2017 | 0 Comments | , , , ,

School’s out and interns are in here at the TFMoran Bedford office.  Jack Watton, Kelsie Gagner, and Hannah Kelsey are TFM’s 2017 summer interns.  Each of them operates in a different department under a knowledgeable and experienced supervisor/mentor. Jack attends the University of New Hampshire Durham and will obtain a BS in Civil Engineering in the spring of 2018. His work takes place in the civil engineering department working under Principal Jeff Kevan. Jack is being familiarized with AutoCAD, HydroCAD, and all aspects of civil engineering. Last year Jack interned in our surveying department, so he is familiar with the staff and expectations of TFM. Kelsie is attending Southern New Hampshire University working towards a BS in Business Administration for the spring of 2018. She interns in the marketing department under Marketing Coordinator Susan Bartley. Kelsie is designated tasks based on the events TFM attends or important upcoming happenings. She also is given the independence to come up with new and creative marketing strategies for TFMoran. Hannah is currently attending Smith College and will obtain a BS in Civil Engineering in 2021. She works under Senior Project Manager Dan Blais in the stormwater department, allowing her to visit current job sites and get a feel for the environmental engineering portion of the company. This is Hannah’s second year with TFM, as she did her independent senior project internship here for The Derryfield School.

 We acknowledge the importance of interns here at TFM, as they are teaching us as much as we are teaching them. Becoming familiarized with millennia’s and generation Y is a necessity as the minds of young people have changed, bringing new demands and ideas of what a workplace should be like. Technology is advancing at rapid speed, and it’s hard for those who have not grown up surrounded by it to adapt. With the younger generation, they are able to mold and mend to the new technologies being thrown at them every day. Having interns teaches companies what exactly future employees are looking for, and what they’re not looking for. This is the most interns we’ve had at TFM at one time, we are honored to have them here and support the local colleges and universities. Having student interns creates a form of engagement between young people and a potential career; it gives them a taste of what the “adult world” is like. Not only that, but internships are the key to building experience in an intern, and we are proud to say that their experience will come from us!
