Riverview School and Acella Construction hold groundbreaking ceremony for New Student Center

NORWELL, MA. (June 22, 2009)—Riverview School held their official groundbreaking ceremony June 12th to celebrate the beginning of construction for their new Student Center. Acella Construction has been handling preconstruction on the 20,000 sf Center, located in East Sandwich, MA. The new Student Center, which will be pursuing LEED certification, will replace the existing signature building, Janse Hall.  The Student Center will include a modern 325-seat auditorium that is large enough to house the entire Riverview community in one sitting.  It will also include an outdoor amphitheater, a library/media center, classrooms and studios for creative arts, and a much needed commons for social gathering. The Center will also house the admissions office and will become the welcome center for all visitors to campus.  Construction is scheduled to begin immediately, and is scheduled to be open for the start of the 2010 school year. The groundbreaking was held in conjunction with Riverview Schools annual "Village of Dreams Gala," which is their largest fundraising event of the year.

"Acella Construction is proud to be associated with this tremendous project. Our team has worked hard throughout the preconstruction phase of this project, and we’re looking forward to providing an exceptional building for the Riverview family," said David Dirubbo, President of Acella Construction. Siemasko + Verbridge of Beverly, MA is providing architectural, interior and landscape design services for Riverview School's new Student Center.
