The new home of Building Construction and Cabinetmaking Technology.

New England Tech Expands Again!

Construction Technology Program Set to Move to New Home


Charles K. Rogers

Member of the NEIT Family is Honored

      On March 27, Charles K. Rogers, NEIT Special Assistant to the Presi-
dent, was awarded a lifetime membership to SkillsUSA-VICA. The award was presented to Charlie at the 25th Annual Banquet and Awards Ceremony of Skills USA-VICA held at the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Timothy Lawrence, Executive Director of the national office of SkillsUSA-VICA presented the ceremonial "red jacket" to Charlie.
     Charlie earned the award in recognition of his long service to Skills USA-VICA, and its earlier incarnation as VICA. Charlie began his affiliation with VICA in its beginning when he was president of Hall Institute of Technology, and assisted in organizing the skills competitions in the printing and drafting programs. He continued his commitment to Skills USA-VICA when he joined NEIT by judging leadership competitions.
      This is a well-deserved honor for Charlie, who has dedicated his professional career to the career development of students. The college community is very proud of his accomplishment, and extends its sincerest congratulations for this outstanding achievement.

     The latest expansion project at New England Institute of Technology's Julian B. Gouse campus in Warwick seems quite straightforward. The college needed to build a 6600 square foot facility to accommodate the educational needs of the college's students in the Associate in Science degree program in Building Construction and Cabinetmaking Technology (C&C). But the reasons for the construction go far beyond the needs of just one of the college's programs."
     Currently, the classrooms adjacent to the C&C program are for the Architectural/Building Engineering Technology, Interior Design Technology, Mechanical Design Technology and Manufacturing Engineering Technology programs. Due to the increased number of students in all of these programs, classroom and laboratory space has been at a premium. When the new home of the C&C program is complete, this will result in new space for the other programs; thus making this expansion and construction activity much more far reaching than it appears.
      The new location for the Building Construction and Cabinetmaking Technology program is at 2457 Post Road. This address is on the west side of Post Road and across the street from the college's Center for the Technologies Building. The project began in December 2000 and the expected completion is late May. The contractor for the project is Dennis Leonardo Builder, Inc of Swansea, Massachusetts. The relocation of the C&C program to its new home will be completed between June 9 and July 23. Students will utilize the new building beginning with the Summer Quarter.
       The 6600 square foot facility will accommodate all of the technical needs of the Building Construction and Cabinetmaking Technology program. Also located in the building will be a general education classroom, a multipurpose computer lab and storage for the lumber used in the C&C labs. "It was time to upgrade the facilities for this program," stated New England Tech Executive Vice President, Seth Kurn. "This will also afford us the opportunity to utilize the once vacated space in a more efficient and effective manner for our students and staff."
      Renovation and construction of the existing space in the Gouse Building is expected to begin this summer. Look for further details in future editions of Tech News regarding this construction project.
