PROVIDENCE – Gilbane Building Co. announced June 28 that it will provide construction management services for the Rogers High School replacement project in Newport.
In November 2020, Newport voters overwhelmingly approved a $106.3 million school bond, $98.8 million of which will be used toward building a new Rogers High School. The current school, first built in 1957, is deemed among the most deficient schools in Rhode Island.
Gilbane said the target occupancy for the new high school is 755 students and it will also make related site improvements at Rogers’ existing campus.
