Newly constructed non-acute care facility
Providence, RI – AECOM, a global infrastructure firm with headquarters in Los Angeles, announced that it will provide program oversight and management services for the assessment, planning, programming and design to convert existing Rhode Island facilities into newly constructed non-acute care facilities for patients with COVID-19 symptoms.
AECOM is working with the state, the R.I. National Guard, and other stakeholders to determine suitability and viability of the best development track for the facilities.
