From Shopping Mall to Welcoming Campus
Tunxis Community College
Housed in an aging shopping mall, Tunxis Community College was eager to grow its academic program, create a campus brand and build an environment that dignifies the community college experience. Our collaboration with the college began with a campus masterplan, followed by phased renovation and construction of a new library, classrooms and laboratories.
A New Vibrant Social Hub for Students
Vernon Social Center, Trinity College
Trinity College identified the need for a unifying space to foster a more robust social atmosphere on campus and tagged an underutilized 7,000 SF building as the ideal spot. An extensive renovation was necessary to divide the open area into smaller hubs, though original features like vaulted wood ceilings and a bright Sol LeWitt mural provided a glimpse of the space’s potential.
Balancing Historic Architecture and Modern Amenities
Norwich Free Academy
Tecton’s work with Norwich Free Academy practically defines the term “specialty project.” Located at the very center of the campus, this project was originally intended to provide ADA accessibility to NFA’s signature museum, housed in the original 1885 Slater Hall building.
An Environment for Active Learning
Sport and Medical Sciences Academy
The Sports and Medical Sciences Academy (SMSA) was founded with the vision of channeling children’s interest in athletics into a focus on their overall education. Tecton and the school imagined a building that was just as unique as its mission.
Two Decades of On-Call Services
University of Rhode Island
Tecton has provided on-call services to the University of Rhode Island for more than 20 years. Over this span, we have completed a number of diverse projects, including master planning, facilities evaluations and feasibility studies, adaptive reuse of historic structures and building design.
Re-imagining Social Spaces
Suffield Academy
Tecton provided much needed renovations and additions to Suffield Academy's Brewster Hall. The project expanded and re-imagined the existing dining facility and student center, creating a revitalized hub for socialization on campus.
Re-imagining Social Spaces
Asnuntuck Community College - Student Center
Tecton provided master planning services and conceptual designs for Asnuntuck Community College, with the goal of accommodating space programming needs, addressing significant deferred maintenance and updating mechanical systems. The subsequent project created a new Tower Lobby and Student Center to serve as the new “front door” of the College.
