Meridian Construction is renovating Rundlett Middle School at 144 South St. The $3.5 million renovation will include the removal of existing heating and ventilating units, new steam to hot water converters, and a new hot water heating piping system throughout the school.
The scheduled work on Rundlett will include the installation of air handling equipment, radiant ceiling heating panels, and grilles throughout the facility. This will make the school more energy efficient and secure for many years ahead.
The project will mark the second major renovation Meridian has performed to a public education facility within the last year. In 2009 they completed a $5 million renovation of Gorham Middle/High School and Ed Fenn Elementary School in northern NH, which included two phases of construction that extended over the end of 2008 and the first half of 2009.
Matt Cashman, director of facilities and planning for the school district, reviewed twelve company applications before deciding upon Meridian Construction. The selection came because of Meridian's experience and excellent track record with mechanical renovations and a shared history of work on public schools in the district.
