School Board Approach

• Interviewed teachers and administration about deficiencies
• Identified where MHT building is out of compliance with NH

Department of Education, ADA and Fire Safety requirements

• Building Committee formed to explore options for addressing

deficiencies and meeting state requirements

• Engaged ProCon to create conceptual design of a renovated

school that meets state requirements

• Conducted safety/security audit done by Greg Champlin -

NHOEM

• Conducted energy audit done by Acadia Engineers
• Commissioned geotechnical study of MHT grounds by S.W.

Cole

• Hired fire protection engineer company S.F.C Engineering

School and Building Deficiencies

• 1. ADA Restrooms (Federal Law)
• 2. HVAC system (NH Building Code – Air Quality)
• 3. Special Education Room (NH DOE Requirement)
• 4. Guidance office (NH DOE Requirement)
• 5. Teacher work room (NH DOE Requirement)
• 6. Nurse’s Station (NE DOE Requirement)
• 7. With any renovation- need to add kitchen and hot lunch

program These cannot be addressed individually and have ripple effects for other upgrades in the building.

Ripple Effect Example
