URI Homepage
Opened in September of 2006 on our 21st anniversary, our Headquarters provided the first real home for EMS at URI. Prior to this, we had occupied a section of the basement in a converted dormitory and then also an old building (see pictures below). Our new headquarters has separate male and female bunkrooms, showers, a garage apparatus bay, office space, day room, kitchen/dining area and a full classroom.
Our building is located in the northwest corner of the Kingston campus at the intersection of Plains Rd./Flagg Rd. (565 Plains Rd.).

Apparatus Bay
Our apparatus bay can accommodate two ambulances. It is equipped with a PlymoVent Exhaust Extraction system to allow the ambulance to run indoors and to prevent fumes from entering the building. The bay also has a shoreline electrical cord to charge the batteries and keep the block warm during the winter.
