Warrenstreet Architects, Inc. recently announced the completion of the new Rockingham County Municipal Building, a 110,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility located at 94 North Road in Brentwood, NH. This ground-up complex consolidates key County departments, including the County Commissioners, County Attorney, Registry of Deeds, Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Operations and Dispatch Center, and Community Corrections, into a centralized hub.
Guided by the Rockingham County Commissioners and Director of Facilities Jude Gates, Warrenstreet provided architectural services, including landscape architecture and full interior design for each department. The $76 million project, constructed by Harvey Construction and supported by a team of consultants, engineers and subcontractors, began with a space needs assessment in 2017 and broke ground in fall 2022.
“Reflective of the County’s deep commitment to public service, sustainability and long-term planning, this new facility stands as a symbol of collaboration and dedication,” said Caroline Corriveau, AIA, project architect and co-owner of Warrenstreet. “It was made possible by many hands working together toward a shared goal of strengthening community services.”
Designed to meet the unique operational needs of each department while aligning with the County’s environmental and maintenance goals, the building features a 131-seat auditorium equipped with advanced acoustics, lighting and AV systems for public meetings and events; a six-bay garage and two-bay sallyport supporting the Sheriff’s Office; and a 5-megawatt solar farm that powers the entire complex with renewable energy.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony held on November 7 marked the building’s official opening and included the burial of a time capsule beneath a granite medallion engraved with the County seal.
Curated by a committee of County representatives, the capsule contains items reflecting current events and milestones tied to the year of the project’s completion.
“Warrenstreet deeply values our relationship with Rockingham County,” added Corriveau. “We are honored to have contributed to a facility that delivers safe, modern and responsible design solutions for County residents and staff, now and for generations to come.”
