Norwell-based Acella Construction Corp. has been selected to build the new Student Center project for Riverview School, located in East Sandwich.
Riverview School is an independent coeducational residential school, providing a caring community for adolescents and young adults with complex language, learning and cognitive disabilities.
The new Student Center will be pursuing LEED certification.
The 20,000-square-foot center and its programs will replace the existing signature building, Janse Hall. The new 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, Acella said in a statement.
The center will also house the admissions office and will become the welcome center for all visitors to campus.
Construction is scheduled to begin this summer.
