Located on the picturesque shore of Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay, St. Brigid’s House, a 36-bed girl’s dormitory, is the first part of the School's effort to increase its capacity for boarding students. While keeping with the existing campus context and the Rhode Island vernacular, the design incorporates solar alternatives to promote energy efficiency and sustainable design. A similarly styled 30-bed boys' dormitory, St. Martin's House, was recently completed in 2012.
