Northeast Engineers & Consultants, Inc. was contracted to perform geotechnical analysis, surveying, site, design, and utility planning at the proposed site of the Metropolitan Career and Technical Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The proposed development consists of a multi-building campus that is located within several blocks of former residential development in the south side of the city of Providence. The site consists of a total of 67 lots within portions of seven blocks. The buildings include four small classroom buildings, a gymnasium, an auditorium, and the MET Central administration building. The surrounding areas will be developed as playfields, landscape areas, and paved parking.

The building will be two-story steel-framed structures with masonry walls and concrete slab-on-grade floors. The MET Central building will have a one-story basement, while the other buildings will have the ground floor level close to existing grade with no basement.
