As we enter the Back-to-School season, we are excited to share that we celebrated a groundbreaking last week, to kick off school construction projects in Westerly, RI.
NCA is the associate architect working with TSKP Studio for the new 48,000 square foot State Street Elementary School. The new building will sit behind the existing school and will serve 300 students in grades K–4. Students and staff will transition to the new building in the summer of 2026, after which the existing school will be demolished, and site work will be completed in the fall of 2026. We are thrilled to have O&G Industries, Inc. Inc. as the general contractor. The design team includes: SLR International Corp, e2 engineers, Diane C. Soule & Associates Landscape Architect, Consulting Engineering Services (CES) , GUILLEN TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANTS, LLC, AKAL Engineering & Machinery Inc. Co. , Crabtree McGrath Associates, Inc. , TRC Companies, Inc., and Welti Clarence Associates Inc.
The two renovation projects were included in the celebration but led by another design team, DBVW Architects, to refresh the existing Springbrook and Dunn's Corner Elementary Schools and provide comparable learning environments to the New State Street School with new common areas to promote group learning.
The projects continue to be a great collaboration effort as we meet regularly with key stakeholders and the Town's Owners' Representative, DOWNES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
The projects represent a significant investment in the future of Westerly’s education infrastructure, providing students with modern, purpose-built learning environments designed to meet the needs and standards of 21st-century education!
