The Architects assisted the NHIA in renovating the existing two-story brick building that was Manchester’s first high school and move it forward on the site over a new basement. A new two-story glass walled connector over a basement will connect to a new 6 story building over a basement. The basement and the first two floors will provide program space for instruction and faculty office space. The 4 upper floors will provide dormitory space for 54 beds plus support space. This mixed used property adds to the Institute’s growing urban campus. The project is under construction Spring 2009.
