Project Description:

Child & Family is a private, non-profit organization offering a broad array of social service programs to families in southern Rhode Island. Their new community center consolidated multiple facilities into a single, new location. The building includes a child care center for 100 children, community meeting spaces, counseling offices, and administrative offices on two floors.

The facility was designed to reduce overall energy consumption by 30% and is the first project in Rhode Island to utilize National Grid’s “Advanced Building Systems” rebate program, demonstrating Vision 3’s leadership in sustainable design in this region. Under this program, National Grid offers significant monetary rebates for the additional construction costs associated with the implementation of energy saving systems proven to meet the goals of the program.
