About the Building
Located in the heart of campus, the three-story building gives students the opportunity to test designs and apply new skills in a laboratory environment. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and tools, the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories is RWU's commitment to ensuring that our exceptional academic programs include a rigorous, cutting-edge experiential component.
A Laboratory for Student Learning
During the construction phase, the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories was a “living laboratory” for student learning. Our project partner Shawmut Construction and Design provided behind-the-scenes access and real-time construction lessons for students, while our professors built hands-on lessons about the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories into courses.
Breaking Ground on the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories
Against the backdrop of bulldozers poised in the midst of constructing the building, Roger Williams University held a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 25, for the new Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories. Also at the ceremony, the University announced it is naming the building for Richard L. Bready, the former Nortek Inc. CEO and Chairman who is concluding 11 years as chair of the RWU Board of Trustees.
Our Project Partner
Shawmut Design and Construction is the construction management firm leading the Richard L. Bready Applied Learning Laboratories project. In addition to their extensive experience in academic construction, Shawmut is one of the top employers of RWU graduates and they will be collaborating with SECCM faculty to deliver an educational program on all aspects of the project delivery.
