Florence Gray Center

Members of the Ahlborg construction team are on site and getting everything ready for demolition. First up for demolition is the underutilized Gallagher Wing. For a period of time, this part of the building housed the MET School but has been mostly empty or used for storage since they opened their own building around the corner. The empty rooms you see below will be converted into program space, dedicated space for health services, offices, and conference spaces that can be reserved by the public.

As we get nearer to renovations beginning in the Florence Gray Center, the majority of our tenant programs will need to move out temporarily.

Tenants who have already moved:

FabNewport: Newport Congregational Church, 73 Pelham St Newport

Turning Around Ministries: Child & Family, 31 John Clarke Rd Middletown

East Bay Community Action Program (Adult Education): virtual

Newport Heights, Phase IV: 10 Langford Blvd, North Kingstown

Tenants who will move by the end of October:

Women's Resource Center/Health Equity Zone: Donovan Manor, 19 Chapel St Newport

Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County: 3rd-8th grade groups will use the MET School as a program space. Drop-off, meals, and pick-up will still happen at FGC.

Please reach out to organizations directly for more information.
