Project Description: SMMA provided planning and design services to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island as the company consolidates its operations that are currently housed in multiple locations. Full architecture / engineering / and interior design services are being delivered for a new 325,000 sf, 13-story headquarters office building adjacent to Waterplace Park in the Capital Center District of Providence. The new headquarters is planned for LEED certification, and SMMA has provided planning and design services to meet sustainable guidelines. For the building’s 3,400 sf data center, SMMA planned and designed systems to decrease the use of harmful pollutants and use a “green” open cell cooling tower water system.
