North Branch Construction erecting steel for new 51,000 s/f Kingswood Regional High School multi-purpose building

Steel erecting is well underway for the new multi-purpose building on the campus of the Kingswood Regional High School for the Governor Wentworth School District (SAU #4) by North Branch Construction of Concord. When complete, the new 51,000 s/f multi-purpose building will include a 900 seat auditorium, classrooms and locker rooms. The project also includes new synthetic and natural turf athletic fields as well as a Geothermal Ground Heat Exchanger (GHE) piping system to serve the entire campus. Over 300 wells are being drilled for the geothermal system. Sitework began in November 2009. The new multi-purpose building is being built on the site which formerly held the athletic fields. New athletic fields are being moved to another location on campus. The project is being built to meet the energy efficiency and environmental standards of the Northeast Collaborative for High Performance Schools (NECHPS State Funding for School Construction). The Governor Wentworth Regional School District Serves the Communities of Brookfield, Effingham, New Durham, Ossipee, Tuftonboro, Wolfeboro. CMK Architects of Manchester is the architect for the $16.5 million project which will be completed by year end.
