Today, we are proud to announce the completion of a multi-faceted renovation project for Salemhaven Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Salem, New Hampshire.  The 110-bed, multi-story care facility has undergone a major transformation on all three floors that consists of resident rooms, nurse’s stations, visiting rooms and common area space. The exterior work included the demolition of the existing front entry and the addition of a new covered canopy, cupola and vestibule entrance. Egress improvements to the rear of the facility included concrete pad, stairs and wheelchair lift access to the garden and patio area.

A phased construction plan was followed allowing the 30,000 square foot center to remain open during construction. “It was extremely important that we complete this renovation project with minimal disruption to the center’s very special residents,” said Jon Krygeris, Project Manager at Channel Building Company. “With the cooperation of the owner’s representative, Gino Baroni, Principal at Trident Building and Properties Group in Salem, and the management and staff at Salemhaven, we were able to successfully complete the renovation with minimal disturbance in the daily care of the residents”.

Working in conjunction with interior space designer, Caryl Hoffman of Hastings & Hoffman Interiors of Lawrence, Channel created rooms meeting all the necessary ergonomic and medical environment requirements on time and within budget.

A ribbon cutting ceremony and open house was held on September 16th.
