Harbor Chase offers luxury assisted living and memory care services that encourage engagement for residents, and was designed with connectivity at its core.

The Fuss & O’Neill design team was awarded the ACEC-NH Engineering Excellence Silver Award for their work on the solar array on top of the Manchester Landfll. The landfll had been capped since 1999 and lay dormant for more than 20 years. The City of Manchester, led by the Department of Public Works, constructed a 3.3-megawatt (MW) solar array on top of the landfll to help add energy to the overall grid. The solar array, which is roughly 8,000 panels, produces enough energy to power about 500 homes. The development is the largest solar array in all of New Hampshire.

Look at every design obstacle as an opportunity for innovation. The most exciting and impactful designs and creations throughout time have resulted from a willingness to look at situations in a different way than those before – so why can’t we take the same approach to navigating the current cost and supply chain crises? The silver linings in all of this are varied. We are seeing unprecedented levels of collaboration between formerly separate entities in the construction process, and domestic vendors are now at the forefront of the industry out of sheer need for alternative products. This will undeniably lead to opportunities for economic growth at home. It’s time to embrace the challenge and do what those of us in the entertainment industry do best: think outside the box anae Tinsle I is senior associate pro ect anager at rchitecture
