Colonial Apartments

The renovation of the Colonial Apartments at Rhode Island School of Design was a phased project done to accommodate the myriad of problems facing the building. A renovation package was developed to make exterior repairs to the 1931 structure that had fallen victim to disrepair, as no major maintenance had occurred since the building was built. The package also resolved code violations that developed over time as the building was subdivided from 64 apartments to 71 units. Continuous operation of the facility as student housing was maintained during renovation work.
