The East Greenwich Campus is the main campus for all administrative, residence, athletics, and student services.[5] The campus's centerpiece is a newly renovated 265,000-square-foot facility[5] dedicated to classrooms, technical labs, medical suites for training simulations, and administrative services. The interior features technical labs and an open atrium with multi-tiered waterfall.[3] A 400-bed residence hall is also located on the East Greenwich campus.
The building had been intended to serve as headquarters for the Eckerd Corporation.[3] The site was purchased in 2007 still unfinished, and extensively customized for New England Tech.[3] It opened to students in summer 2011; a major expansion begun in 2014 added dormitories and new instructional space.[3]
