Nobis Group provided comprehensive civil engineering, permitting, and construction support services for the development of a new 23,900-square-foot Medical Office Building on the campus of Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont, New Hampshire.
The project transformed three residential properties into a unified healthcare campus expansion, creating a modern outpatient facility designed to enhance patient access, improve operational efficiency, and support the hospital’s long-term growth. The redevelopment included demolition of existing residential structures, consolidation of three parcels into a single development site, and construction of a new medical office building with associated visitor and employee parking, patient drop-off areas, pedestrian walkways, outdoor gathering spaces, utility infrastructure, and stormwater management systems. The completed site provides 99 parking spaces and a circulation network designed to accommodate patients, visitors, and staff safely and efficiently. Working within a constrained site adjacent to both the existing hospital campus and surrounding residential neighborhoods, Nobis developed innovative grading, drainage, and utility solutions that maximized the usability of the property while maintaining compatibility with neighboring land uses.
The project required careful coordination of site access, earthwork, ledge removal, retaining walls, and utility extensions to support the new facility and its supporting infrastructure. Nobis led the local and state permitting effort, securing approvals from municipal and regulatory agencies and preparing the technical documentation necessary to advance the project from concept through construction. Services included site planning, grading and drainage design, stormwater management, utility engineering, environmental permitting, construction documents, and construction-phase support. A hallmark of the project was the integration of advanced stormwater treatment and detention systems designed to improve water quality and manage runoff within a limited development footprint. Through thoughtful planning and multidisciplinary coordination, the project successfully converted underutilized residential properties into a state-of-the-art healthcare facility that expands medical services for the region and strengthens the Valley Regional Hospital campus for years to come.
