CCI Awarded Construction Management Contract for Spaulding Youth Center Project
Posted by Jeff Downing on October 22nd, 2010
In mid-October, the Spaulding Youth Center’s Building Committee selected CCI as construction manager for their $4 million dollar new educational facility.
Construction will begin in spring 2011 on the new 20,000 square foot facility on the center’s Northfield campus, with occupancy scheduled for spring 2012.
The project is being designed by Banwell Architects of Lebanon, New Hampshire. Ingrid Moulton Nichols is the project architect and Jeff Downing will be project manager for CCI.
The new building will feature “green” and sustainable construction techniques. These features may include solar hot water generation, high performance envelope, day lighting, passive solar, low flow plumbing fixtures and a green roof as well as many other high performance features.
CCI looks forward to working with the Spaulding Youth Center and Banwell Architects on this exciting project.

After the successful bond vote in March 2010 on the $3.5 million dollar, 75,000 square foot renovation was approved; CCI began working closely with the construction team planning for the fast track project.
The school district and administration of PES wanted to involve the students, faculty and community in this major project, but didn’t know how to best accomplish this goal.
At the suggestion of CCI, the administration agreed to organize a team of students, lead by Don Hyde (PES parent) of EVP Marketing & Media located in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, to make a video to document the construction that could be viewed by the students and community.
Along with this project, CCI also spoke to elementary school classes and the PTA about the project, helping to educate students and parents about the ongoing planning, challenges and goals associated with the construction.
Once construction began, CCI worked with the student film crew to provide them safe access to the construction site and construction personnel doing the work.
The attached video is a result of this collaboration. It was a really cool project to be involved with and CCI would like to recognize Don Hyde for his leadership skills, middle school students Alexander Browne and Noah Mauchly, who did the heavy lifting and 4th graders Hyden Dahl and Ben Downing, who all contributed to make this video production possible.
We hope you have as much fun viewing it as we did making it!

The new building will replace the existing lodge facility, which is slated for demolition sometime in April 2010. The project is being designed by Lauer Architects of Goffstown, NH, with consultants Altus Engineering (civil), SW&C Engineering (structural) and Yeaton Associates (mechanical and electrical).
CCI’s management team will be Mark Marceau as field superintendent and Ross Currier as project manager. Subcontractor bidding is expected to take place soon. Firms interested in bidding are asked to submit pre-qualification information to Ross no later than February 28, 2010.
This project adds to CCI’s extensive background in the ski industry. Our most recent accomplishment is our CM role at Pats Peak Ski Area. For over 10 years we have worked closely with Pats Peak implementing their capital improvements objectives, including base lodge and rental lodge expansions.
We at CCI are excited to be involved in the new lodge and we extend a warm welcome to the folks at McIntyre Ski Area as our newest client.
