The 24,983 square-foot, state-of-the art dorm will house 30 male students, three faculty residences and will overlook Narragansett Bay. Construction of the dorm will begin in mid-June 2010, and move-in is slated for the beginning of the 2011-12 school year.
Of special significance is that the dorm will be built with a wide range of “green” systems and features, including low-VOC construction materials, solar panels to provide hot water, flooring made from recycled materials, special low-VOC foam insulation, low E-glass windows, high-efficiency/low-emission Viessman boilers, a networked energy management system, and a host of Energy Star®-rated appliances. Every system used in the building adheres to strict standards for energy consumption and conservation, resource preservation and healthful environments
