boys & girls club of Austin

AUSTIN, TX


American Campus Communities asked Studio Dzo and and STG to collaborate on designing a $14 million, 32,000 square-foot home for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area. Our gail was to create a vibrant haven for young people that sparks imagination and fosters creativity and curiousity.

  • Throughout the campus, we integrated a diverse array of functional and experiential signage elements. ADA signage, wayfinding directionals, a drive-up monument, and a digital message center ensure the campus is accessible and easy to navigate. To honor the generous donors, we created stained glass-inspired awards that are seamlessly integrated into the hexagonal reception lattice wall, creating a lasting tribute.

    In each classroom, bold wall and window graphics create a dynamic and uplifting atmosphere. The vibrant colors and engaging visuals ignite curiosity, encourage exploration, and empower students to reach for the stars.

    This project is a testament to the transformative power of partnership and design. Demonstrating that when good work is done with good people for good people, the results can be truly inspiring.

    We fabricated and installed everything while coordinating with the city of Auburn, the client, and GC to ensure that we aligned with code, met client expectations, and worked within the GC's budget and deadlines. In addition, we designed and fabricated the signage in their leasing office which is just across the street from the main property

    In designing the wall-to-wall graphics for the study rooms on the property, we saw the opportunity to honor Auburn University alumni doing amazing, inspiring things. This decision filled these dedicated spaces with visualization and manifestation, featuring faces that were close to home.

    This large project had so much heart behind it. We are honored to know that we were able to play a significant part in designing the spaces that will house the next generation, setting them up for good work.

studio Dzo was an excellent partner in developing signage and graphics for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area. They showed patience in working through multiple revisions and ultimately delivered an exciting package that really complemented the overall building design. The process was fun and I look forward to working with their team again.”
