PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island School of Design announced Monday that it has received a $4 million anonymous donation to help revitalize the century-old Jesse Metcalf Building at 7-14 North Main St.
The structure, first built in 1914 and was a textile factory, houses about a third of RISD’s academic departments, the arts college said. The six departments located at the Metcalf Building – named after the husband of RISD founder Helen Adelia Rowe Metcalf – are ceramics, furniture design, glass, jewelry and metalsmithing, sculpture and textiles.
