Providence, RI – O&G Industries Inc.’s Building Group announced it is underway on several education projects in Rhode Island.
The firm recently completed the fast-track design-build of Providence’s Spaziano Elementary School. The company is also engaged in preconstruction planning for Providence’s Spaziano Middle School project, which is expected to start construction in the late fall. The $28.6 million facility spans 38,756sf and is designed by Tecton Architects. The construction timeline is estimated at 14 months, aiming to replicate the success of the Spaziano Elementary School, which was completed in 10 months.
O&G also recently broke ground on the new State Street School in Westerly. Designed by TSKP Architects, with Northeast Collaborative acting as associate architects, the $26.3 million, 48,000sf school will serve 300 kindergarten through 4th grade students. A significant aspect of this new facility is its environmentally friendly mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, designed to operate without dependence on fossil fuels. 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.
In addition, O&G Industries’ Building Group has been awarded another design-build school project in Providence, with a budget of $78 million. With multiple projects now underway in Rhode Island, O&G announced it has also opened a permanent office in downtown Providence.
