"Even though the snow kept falling we were able to complete the exterior shell on time, without delay, and the exterior framing and sheathing is now complete. This will be beautiful building when it's done." According to St Anselm College, the new residence hall will be an innovative living learning community that extends the college's efforts to integrate academic and residential life. The residence hall is designed by Lavallee Brensinger Architects and the general contractor is Eckman Construction.
