Working alongside TreanorHL and PlanNorth Architectural Co., our team helped transform the building to reflect the Texas A&M Foundation’s core values and history, while also serving as a modern and welcoming facility that honors donors and attracts current students.

One of the most eye-catching “wow” moments our team created  for visitors is the Grand Stair feature. Located on the back of the main staircase are dimensional gold letters representing the university’s core values. Creating this unique brand moment required precise and strategic collaboration from our engineering team to ensure the stacked, free-standing sculpture was structurally sound and met ADA compliance. Inside the center’s upper level is a first-of-its-kind tribute to recipients of the Evan’s Medal – the Foundation’s highest and most prestigious honor a donor can receive.

Our team created a range of branded elements and interactives throughout the three-story building, including a kiosk for digital donor recognition, displaying the growing list of donors no longer able to fit on the building’s limestone tribute wall. The Legacy Map is a sculptural element designed to showcase the Foundation’s connection and impact on campus. Honoring those who paved the way is the Legacy Wall, designed to showcase the history behind the Foundation’s top donor programs and societies.

In addition to the back-lit “Lead By Example” wall, frosted vinyl window treatments, dimensional graphics and logos, and branded glass wall plaques, we led cohesive, corporate interior design efforts throughout the space.

The Jon L. Hagler Center will continue to serve as a space for Texas A&M Foundation staff and members to strengthen campus connections, honor influential donors, and engage students and younger patrons, now with a warm, polished, modern interior.
