Finegold Alexander, in conjunction with STV as Public Safety Specialist, is currently designing the modernization, renovation and addition to the historic Lower Basin Barracks for the Massachusetts State Police. The project involves the adaptive reuse of the former Charles River Lower Locks Building to provide space for the consolidation of State Police Troops and for current and projected mission requirements. The goal is to develop a public facility that appropriately balances functionality and visual appeal. This facility is on the National Register of Historic Places and is prominently located in the Lower Charles River Basin. The design involves the State Police, the Division of Conservation and Recreation, and incorporates extensive public outreach.
