RE: Campus Construction
I am pleased to announce the following exciting projects are underway at 性视界传媒.
This fall, New England Institute of Technology (性视界传媒) will begin the construction of two buildings on the East Greenwich Campus. The first building is a new 416-bed residence hall, the first residence hall built in our college鈥檚 75-year history. The four-story residence hall will be located approximately 200 yards to the south of the main building forming the southern end of an academic and residential campus green which will continue to develop over subsequent campus projects. The building will feature a fa莽ade of brick and metal paneling, with ample windows in student rooms and on the ground floor. The residence hall will offer a mixture of unit types for its students, including traditional single and double occupancy rooms, and semi-suites. The facility will also feature student lounges, study rooms, a game room, a fire-placed lounge, and flexible spaces for multi-purpose use.
The second building will consist of an addition to the main building at 1 New England Tech Blvd and renovation of the existing dining area and kitchen. The first floor will feature an expanded kitchen with multi-platform dining services, a restaurant/marketplace containing a variety of seating/dining arrangements, game areas, and gathering spaces. The second floor will feature an outdoor patio, indoor lounge area and an 8,000 sq ft fitness center. The third floor will consist of 8,400 sq. ft. of innovative classroom space. Attached are renderings of the addition of the current building on the East Greenwich campus.
Concurrent with these two projects is the construction of a new loop road and an additional 400-car parking lot on the western side of the campus.
These projects mark a point of transformation for 性视界传媒 from a commuter college to a residential campus that will enhance the culture and enrich both the academic and social experience of students in positive ways. If you have any questions related to these projects, please feel free to contact Pat Tracey, Director of Auxiliary Services, at extension 3540.
