Miley Hall, Salve Regina University

Construction Manager, General Contractor

The 2013 expansion of Miley Hall not only transformed the building's aging exterior but also included a comprehensive renovation of the existing two building floors, housing the school's cafeteria, bookstore, café, and student services.

A new two-story building connecting to the existing building expanded the school's main cafeteria and created complementary ancillary space. The exterior building components included radiuses steel, brick, and precast stone design. A curtain wall glazing system was added, which transfers natural light deep into the building's interior. A large glass canopy also protects from the weather at the building's new main entrance.

The building's interior is best described as a complete transformation! It's elegant, warm, inviting, and vibrant design matches the school's youthful population. The interior comprises several food stations constructed of substantial millwork, with glass tile and solid surface countertops. The colorful flooring, glass tiles, millwork, food stations, decorative lighting, and tasteful functional furnishings make this project a student favorite.

The project's construction schedule was extremely aggressive. Interior work started at the end of the school year, mid-May 2013, and was completed before the September 2013 school opening. We are proud of our accomplishments on this challenging project delivering on time and within budget. This was a 4.8 million dollar project.
