Providence, RI – Three dormitory buildings at Brown University are scheduled for extensive renovation. The project has been awarded to Shawmut Design and Construction of Providence.
The project will enhance the first-year experience of Brown students, and includes a top-to-bottom renovation of Metcalf and Miller Halls, which will be converted into double occupancy bedrooms. The connection between Metcalf and Miller Halls to Andrews Hall will be removed, creating three independent structures.
Andrews Hall also will undergo an extensive renovation. Where possible, one, two and three student bedrooms will be converted into double occupancy rooms. Kitchenette and recycling closet space on each floor will be combined to create a common area lounge. The exterior of the buildings will also be restored.
Shawmut has partnered with CBT Architects to complete this project.
Metcalf, Miller, and Andrews Halls are located on the Pembroke Campus on Lloyd Avenue in Providence. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2012, and will be completed by December 2012
