Tiverton R&D Facility

An existing waterfront building on the Sakonnet River, converted into offices and R&D space for an advanced technology team.

The project converts a 10,199-square-foot timber-framed building at 2139 Main Road from storage to business use. New openings pull the river, the marina and the Sakonnet bridge into a long, open floor under the existing wood roof structure.

Anderson Alexander led the change-of-use design, code and life-safety strategy, coastal permitting and consultant coordination, alongside the structural, mechanical and fire-protection teams.
