Warrenstreet Architects Hired to Design New Merrimack County Nursing
Concord, NH – July 1, 2004 – Warrenstreet Architects announced today that they have been engaged to design the new 286-bed Merrimack County Nursing Home in Boscawen, NH.
Expanding upon a feasibility study completed by the firm in 2003 which recommended constructing a new facility Warrenstreet is providing complete architectural services for a 200,000 square foot building. According to Bob Chase, the home's director, "Warrenstreet was chosen for the project based upon their familiarity with the facility, their understanding of the country and their excellent qualifications on similar projects." Warrenstreet's design will include renovation of the 1975 McLeod building in addition to constructing a new building. The new facility will provide special services for young adults, general psychiatric services and an expanded assisted living facility.
The nursing home, the largest in the state, provides services to 27 communities in the county. The Merrimack County Delegation voted last fall to support a $2 million bond for the project's design. Schematic designs and cost estimates will be presented to the Delegation in the fall of 2004 for their consent to move the project forward.
Warrenstreet Architect's principal, Patricia Sherman, states "The home serves as a safety net for those without access to other assistance. Warrenstreet's design will meet the needs of the residents and the county for many years to come."
This is the fourth nursing home/assisted living facility that Warrenstreet has designed in recent years. Warrenstreet will also provide interior design services.
