    New England Institute of Technology has three campuses in Rhode Island, two in Warwick and one in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. All three of NEIT’s campuses are centrally located and just a short distance south of the state’s capital, Providence.

    NEIT’s main campus in East Greenwich serves as the university’s residential campus and the headquarters to all administrative departments. The East Greenwich campus sits on 220 acres of land and contains a residence hall, dining hall, fitness center, and 431,500 square foot state-of-the-art academic building.

    Meltzer Hall, New England Tech’s premier, four-story, residential hall includes student lounges, study rooms, game room, lounge with fireplace, and multi-purpose common spaces. The addition to NEIT’s main building in East Greenwich includes a Student Center dining facility, a café, fireplace, pool and ping pong tables, foosball, video gaming area, large screen TVs, and a variety of sitting areas and lounges for students to gather. The 8,000 sq. ft. fitness center includes a multi-purpose room for group classes along with a combination of aerobic and fitness equipment and a weight area. 

    The Julian B. Gouse Campus, located at 2500 Post Road, Warwick, consists of two buildings containing more than 120,000 square feet of faculty and administrative offices, classroom and laboratory space, as well as a student lounge and an eating area. 

    The nearby Access Road Campus in Warwick consists of four buildings containing more than 114,000 square feet of office, classroom, and laboratory space featuring a custom-designed 53,000 square-foot facility dedicated exclusively to the training of automotive technicians which opened in April 2005. The Access Road Campus receives power from a 156-foot wind turbine and an array of 135 solar panels. In addition, the automotive laboratory utilizes both energy recovery and geothermal technologies to supply pre-heated and pre-cooled fresh air into the facility.

    All New England Tech facilities were either originally designed or extensively remodeled to serve the institutional needs of the university, its mission and purposes. Laboratories have been conceived for the technology of the 21st century and they equal or surpass industry standards. Spacious and well-lighted, many of these combined classroom/laboratories have been custom-built to faculty and staff specifications. These facilities integrate computers into a highly functional setting for the technological training that is necessary to prepare students for successful applications in the workplace.
