DiPrete Engineering is part of a design team working to create a new ‘green campus’ for the technical college. The proposal for the new campus included utilizing a 265,000 sf building, formerly built as a headquarters for Brooks Pharmacy. The location is now the main campus for academic activities and administration. DiPrete Engineering is also working with NEIT on other additions to the new campus.
The plan, which includes dormitories, athletic fields, and a field house, is mostly built. The dormitory houses a total of 400 students at its capacity and provides a place for more out-of-state and international students to live. The final campus build out will contain over 1,600 parking spaces.
DiPrete Engineering has worked closely with the project team and the Town to assess and plan water, sewer and drainage infrastructure, roadway design, landscape architecture, emergency access and overall land planning as well as all regulatory permitting in conjunction with the 100-year vision of NEIT.
Since opening its doors in 1940, NEIT has grown into the leader in technical education in Southeastern New England. Today, enrollment is over 3,000 students. DiPrete Engineering is honored to be a part of their growing tradition.
