Rhode Island College’s Fine Art Center was renovated and expanded to a 52,600-square-foot facility in 2014. It was renamed Alex and Ani Hall in honor of a generous donation of one-million dollars by owner, Carolyn Rafaelian, and CEO Giovanni Feroce. The façade features a copper-wrapped second floor and the spacious interior includes state-of-the-art studio classrooms, art gallery, presentation areas and gathering spaces for students and visitors.
