Meeting Street School-Mondor Early Childhood Building

Project Strategy

Pavilion Floors, Dimeo Construction Company and Saccoccio & Associates Architects partnered up on this new Early Childhood Building for the Meeting Street School to give them upgraded floors with patterns and colors at a price to fit their budget. We partnered up with Tarkett and other Starnet Members to present the team with vinyl floors, carpet tile, wall base and stairwell management which was an upgrade to the original specifications all while working on a strict budget. The finished flooring featured many accents, radius cuts and numerous color variations to liven up the space.

The opening of the Mondor Early Childhood Building marks a significant milestone for the storied Meeting Street, widely known for its schools for children with special needs, dramatically increasing its capacity to support all families in the prevention of developmental delays in their children.

A highlight of the new building is the Family Resource Center, a walk-in service providing no-cost child assessments and support services to any family. Additionally, the Mondor Building provides expanded space for programming to complement the home-based early childhood services Meeting Street provides to over 4,000 Rhode Island families annually. The Mondor Early Childhood Building will become a hub for parenting workshops, literacy activities and events that bring families and the broader community together.

“Meeting Street is always evolving to meet the needs of our community,” said John Kelly, President of Meeting Street. “The Mondor Building allows our professionals to positively impact a greater number of families during a child’s critical years of development, prenatal to age 5. We are here as a resource for families as well as to our partners across the educational, developmental and philanthropic communities.”
