Gilbane Building Company Completes Lincoln High School Renovation and Addition Project
The facility is now better equipped to provide Lincoln's students with a high-performing school that fosters 21st century learning.
LINCOLN, R.I., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gilbane Building Company recently provided construction management at-risk services for the 178,000-SF high school renovation and expansion project in Lincoln, Rhode Island. The facility is now better equipped to provide Lincoln's students with a high-performing school that fosters 21st century learning.
Designed by Symmes, Maini & McKee Associates, Inc., the project included a partial demolition of the existing school building, followed by 125,000 SF of renovations and 53,000 SF of new additions.
Completed on an occupied and operational school campus amidst numerous challenges associated to the COVID-19 pandemic, the newly renovated, two-story structure includes a one-story core area housing a 622-seat auditorium; dining commons with kitchen; library/media center and gymnasium.
New additions include an academic wing with four new science classrooms on the southwest side of the building, a new high-bay technical education space for both the wood shop and automotive curriculum on the northeast side. Renovations included a new state of the art culinary kitchen, fashions studio, graphic design space and a new robotics engineering lab space.
"As construction manager, this project required extensive planning and coordination to implement phased construction plans on an occupied school campus," said Steve Duvel, senior vice president and business unit leader for Gilbane in Rhode Island. "The collaboration exhibited by the entire project team was outstanding and the end result is a top-notch facility for the district's students."
The newly renovated Lincoln High School will welcome approximately 900 students in grades nine through 12 for the upcoming school year.
