Finegold Alexander Architects collaborated with Cranston Public Schools on the renovation of Cranston High School West, originally built in the 1950s on a 28-acre campus. Serving over 1,500 students and 150 faculty and staff, the project included are designed kitchen servery and a renovated main entrance with a secure entry, waiting area, and security vestibule. The updated design transforms the previously dated lobby into a vibrant, welcoming space for students to gather, collaborate, and connect. These enhancements support the school’s commitment to its core values—Responsibility, Engagement, Success, Performance, Environment, Character, and Traditions (RESPECT)—and elevate the overall student experience.
