Meals will become a much more pleasant experience for students at
the University of Rhode Island (URI) thanks to an $8 million
expansion of Butterfield Dining Hall. Previously, meal lines snaked
out the door and students had to bear New England's rain and snow
while waiting for their meals. The expansion will provide students
with an indoor waiting area and more elbow room to eat their meals
upon its completion later this year.
DiPrete Engineering handled the site engineering for the threephased project. The upgrade added 7,500 square feet to the existing
building, a paved plaza for greater pedestrian access between the
dining hall and residence hall, and an expansion of the loading dock.
DiPrete Engineering's scope of work included the schematic design,
design development, utility research and design, grease trap design,
construction documentation, and LEED submittals.
The project architect was Vision 3 Architects and landscape
architect was Birchwood Design Group.
"Partnering with Vision 3 and Birchwood Design, our team was able
to design the best possible solutions for every phase of this project,"
said Molly Titus, a Project Manager at DiPrete Engineering.

The Needham Congregational Church is a vibrant part of the local
community. The church holds Sunday services, religious classes,
and serves as a place for local meetings and gatherings. Along with
its religious offerings, the building also provides space for multiple
private and public day care centers.

The church will undergo a transformation to rejuvenate the aesthetic
appeal of the buildings and property, this project will analyze and
improve the piecemeal construction activities that have occurred at
this property during the last 100 years. Currently, the Sanctuary and
meeting halls are located on opposite ends of the building. Handicap
accessibility to the various uses in the building is limited and
burdensome. The children's playground is located across a busy
driveway. Also, with two ancient heating systems and single-pane
windows, the building is not energy efficient.
Enter the team of DiPrete Engineering and Colin Smith Architecture,
who are now taking the church's vision for the future and designing a
more functional, efficient and harmonious site.
"We're using our team's expertise to identify creative, cost-savings
solutions for the client," said Brian Timm, a Senior Project Manager
at DiPrete Engineering.
DiPrete Engineering is providing pre-construction survey and civil
engineering services, design development of an underground storm
water management system, site grading to meet A.D.A.
requirements, and assisting with the permitting and entitlement
process. Construction will begin in the next few months.
"Working together with Colin Smith Architecture, we've been able to
attain the best possible results for the client to fulfill their vision for
the future of Needham Church," said Molly Titus, Project Manager at
DiPrete Engineering.
