CONCORD, N.H. — Bedford, N.H.-based Eckman Construction has completed the $11.3 million addition and renovation of the Medical & Surgical Building, located within Gallen State Office Park in Concord. Construction consisted primarily of a four-story addition built in the center of the formerly U-shaped building. In addition, the building’s interior was completely gutted and renovated; the brick façade was cleaned and restored; new windows were installed; and all new building systems were installed. The renovated building will serve as the new headquarters for the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration. The tenant space will contain offices, conference rooms, a hearing room with audio equipment, a secure mail room, and two connected training rooms equipped with smartboards and video conferencing. Assisting Eckman with the design/build process was locally based Barker Architects. The building will retain its original name, which comes from its previous operation as a building within the New Hampshire State Hospital campus.
