Cadence McShane, in partnership with Morales Construction Services, is excited to announce the commencement of a comprehensive renovation and expansion project at Wedgwood Middle School in the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD). This significant endeavor is a testament to our ongoing commitment to enhancing educational environments and supporting the growth and development of students in the Fort Worth community.

We are proud to collaborate once again with WRA Architects on this transformative project. Cadence McShane’s successful history with WRA Architects spans more than 27 years and throughout 6 different school districts, including FWISD. We are unified by our dedication to creating exceptional educational facilities, and we are thrilled to continue our successful partnership.

The project includes the construction of new classrooms, science labs, art classrooms, a weight room, and a new administrative suite complete with upgraded security vestibules. The additions also encompass a fine arts wing, including a choir hall, band hall, ensemble rooms, and practice rooms.

“Starting this project at Wedgwood Middle School is a significant milestone for us,” said Wade Wimbish, Director of Education at Cadence McShane. “Our partnership with Morales Construction Services, WRA Architects, and FWISD is rooted in a shared vision of providing exceptional educational facilities. We are excited to see this project come to life and contribute to the educational journey of many future generations.”

The project will also feature extensive site work, including the creation of a large new courtyard designed to serve as an outdoor learning environment. This innovative space will provide students with the opportunity to engage in educational activities in a natural, open-air setting, further enriching their learning experience.
