What’s Going on Behind those Walls in Exeter?

Walls around the bistro and dining room protect residents from construction

If you’ve noticed construction activity around the Boulders campus or near the Woods pool, you might be wondering what’s happening—and more importantly, why. Behind the temporary walls and protective barriers is thoughtful, long‑term investment designed to enhance daily life for current and future residents alike.

Boulders New at 15: Refreshing a Well‑Loved Community

As the Boulders campus celebrates its 15th anniversary, RiverWoods Exeter has taken the opportunity to thoughtfully refresh the main building through a comprehensive renovation project known as “Boulders New at 15.” This initiative was shaped through collaboration with residents, staff, and design consultants, with the shared goal of ensuring the building continues to support a welcoming and comfortable lifestyle for years to come.

The renovations focus on both aesthetics and functionality, including:

    • Exterior painting to refresh the building’s appearance
    • New carpeting in common areas
    • Updated interior paint, wallpaper, and finishes
    • New furniture in shared spaces

The Boulders renovation project is being completed in carefully planned phases to minimize disruption. Phase one began in early September 2025 and is expected to wrap up in early 2026, with additional phases to follow. Construction zones are clearly marked, and safety remains a top priority throughout the process.

Future residents will be stepping into a community that has already invested in keeping its shared spaces current, comfortable, and aligned with modern design trends.

Woods Pool Renovations: Rebuilding a Favorite Amenity

At the Woods campus, work is underway on a major renovation of the pool area—one of the community’s most popular wellness amenities.

Construction began in late 2025 and includes significant demolition and rebuilding work with the long‑term goal to restore and improve a space that supports health, fitness, and community. Early phases have involved structural changes, window replacements, and infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the renewed pool space. The intent of the Woods pool renovation is to ensure it is functional, durable, and enjoyable for years to come.
