Design efforts to create a new wellness and fitness center on the heart of the University of Rhode Island's campus are well underway. The building will include new cardio, weight training, and studios for group classes, as well as expanded wellness and health offerings, and is being be designed to LEED-CI Silver levels.

KITE is working with S3 Design to create state-of-the art fitness facilities by renovating the 1965 Progressive Architecture award-winning Roger Williams Commons originally created by Pietro Belluschi. The design is inspired by the original buildings structural volumes that grow from the center, and adds new volumes with a lightweight steel expression to form a new entry, lobby, and stair. The interior will be light-filled, open, and vibrant, and will project energy outward to the campus.
