Eleanor Slater Hospital Regan Building

Behavioral Health Upgrades for the State of Rhode Island

TOCCI completed the renovation of six floors of Eleanor Slater Hospital’s Regan Building, delivering more than 60,000 sf of behavioral health space for the State of Rhode Island. The project created secure lockdown psychiatric units, group therapy and consultation rooms, and patient bed areas. Specialty impact windows, anti-barricade doors, and advanced security systems were installed throughout to provide a safe environment for patients and staff.

Location: Cranston, RI

Owner: The State of Rhode Island

Architect: NEMD Architects

Tight Coordination on an Active Campus

Challenge:
The Regan Building sits at the heart of a 15-building, 1.5 million-square-foot campus—home to the RMV (where driving tests are conducted daily), 3 correctional facilities (including maximum security), and various public-facing state agencies.

Solution:
Leveraging our deep healthcare experience, TOCCI developed a phased approach centered on communication, safety, and adaptability. Understanding the full context of campus activity was essential to managing fencing, signage, deliveries, and material storage. Our team established strict perimeter controls and clear wayfinding to deliver critical infrastructure upgrades in compliance with hospital standards.

Result:
The Regan Building underwent a seamless transformation; equipped with new MEP systems, upgraded fire protection, and modernized telecom infrastructure position the hospital to deliver high-acuity behavioral healthcare for years to come.

"Our collective efforts resulted in a renewed healthcare space that not only meets the highest standards but also contributes significantly to the well-being of the community it serves.”

Sensitive + Secure

The roof of the building was one of the highest elevations in Rhode Island. A series of antenna systems live in that space and served multiple agencies. This service was confidential and critical and could not be disrupted in any way—at any time. From the onset, TOCCI closely coordinated with demolition and MEP subcontractors to outline surgical-like demolition and construction, ensuring that those antennas remained active throughout the duration of the project.
