NEIT Veterinary Tech Lab Fit-up

East Greenwich, RI

Cranshaw is undertaking the renovation of the third floor of the New England Institute of Technology’s primary campus building to accommodate new laboratories for the school’s Veterinary Technology Program. After completing the campus’ first residence hall in 2017, our team is thrilled to once again transform the campus with a state-of-the-art facility. One team member in particular has a special tie to the project. Assistant Superintendent Jackson Bennett is an NEIT alum and started his career with Cranshaw as a co-op during Cranshaw’s construction of the campus’ residence hall. With his experience and passion for his campus, we are confident that our team will deliver exceptional results!

The renovated space will include an operating room with a scrub-in area; labs including those for dental surgery, pharmacology/pathology and nursing; a radiology and an X-ray room which will have lead-lined partitions and leaded glass; as well as an entry, classrooms, offices and storage. In addition, our work also includes a gated loading/unloading area at the rear loading dock, as well as a fenced-in animal relief area.

Working in an active building, we understand the importance of coordinating with NEIT’s operations to ensure minimal disruption. Our team will work closely with the building’s staff to schedule deliveries, coordinate rubbish removal and minimize the impact of noise and dust-producing activities. Our scope of work includes selective interior demolition and casework. Cranshaw will be responsible for working with and orchestrating the Design-Build MEP/FP team’s work.
