Site work, new construction and renovation of an educational facility in Nashua, New Hampshire. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

New Searles Elementary was last renovated circa 1994/95. The impetus for the project at that time was proximity to a landfill and infiltration of landfill gases into the building. Classroom wings were also added at the rear of the building. The righthand wing (facing the front of the school) was built over an underground spring and the wing has had floor moisture issues for at least the last 25 years. Mechanical (HVAC) systems are at the end of their service life and provide minimally acceptable ventilation. The front, south-facing, classroom wing has overheating issues in the spring and fall. Most of the roof membrane is approaching at least 20 years of age and should be considered for replacement, along with adding solar panels to reduce dependency on utility. A security vestibule installation was installed this past summer As of January 15, 2026, this project is included in the city's 2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
