North Branch Construction of Concord, NH has begun work on a basement fit-up at the George H. and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library in Hudson, NH. North Branch completed construction of the 13,500 square-foot library in 2009 and was asked to return last summer to finish the basement for storage of archives. After the project came in over budget, North Branch and its subcontractors worked with the Library’s board and leadership to identify alternate solutions that would provide both the archives and the library staff with a safe and comfortable environment while reducing the project cost by almost half. The scope of the project includes installation of a new split dehumidification and climate control unit and interior upgrades. Adams & Smith, LLC of Swampscott, Massachusetts, provided architectural design for the project. The library will remain in full operation during the construction.”
