University of New Hampshire Mills Hall Residence Hall & Holloway Commons Dining Hall

The five-story Mills Hall Residence offers suite-style student living. The building is fully wired to meet the technology needs of today’s students, including a designated Internet line for each student, as well as cable television hook-ups in every room. The new residence hall is fully air-conditioned and features significant study/lounge space. The residence hall was constructed amidst other campus residences, including a residence within only 10 yards of the job site. We worked closely with the University to develop a site safety plan, including guidance of traffic-flow around the site to ensure the safety of students and campus visitors.
