I write this letter to you to tell you how pleased I am with Bread Loaf Corporation's work. All aspects of the design and construction of our library are handled with the utmost professionalism.” Gayle Hutchings Tudisco, MLIS Library Director

Summary

Pelham, New Hampshire was burdened with outdated municipal offices, an inadequate police station and a library that had not increased in size since 1896. Bread Loaf's thorough planning, innovative design and cost-conscious construction gave Pelham residents something more important than newer and renovated buildings: Renewed pride in their community.

Pelham voters resoundingly approved Bread Loaf's novel planning concept: Reuse and adapt the soon-to-be-abandoned Sherburne School while creating a new Library and Town green. Using our Integrated Project ManagementSM (IPM) approach, Bread Loaf held the cost of construction under the cap approved by Pelham voters. The Town chose to reinvest its savings in higher-quality finishes for all buildings.
