PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The state is seeking ideas for the Shephard Building on Westminster Street as the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and the University of Rhode Island (URI) Providence Campus prepare to move out.

Laura Hart, a spokesperson for the Department of Administration, said the six-story building is worth roughly $10 million.

Hart said the building once housed a department store but has been owned by the state since 1995."
