Week 2 razing commences with main portion of 70-year-old structure
EAST PROVIDENCE — After the some 25-year-old addition to the structure was torn down last week, the second week of demolition of the old East Providence High School began Monday, Aug. 16, with the razing of the main portion of the 70-year-old building.
J.R. Vinagro Corp, under the auspices of project contractor Gilbane, used the previous week to take down the addition built in the late 1990s to accommodate freshmen coming to the high school for the first time.
This week, Vinagro began demolishing the main building at its north side where the administrative offices were located on the first floor and the Social Studies Department classrooms on the second.
Vinagro will continue to remove the existing EPHS in a southerly direction down the Pawtucket Avenue campus, concluding with the old gym and pool area.
The aim is to have the old building completely razed in time for the opening of the new EPHS before the start of the 2021-20 term the last week of August.
