OPPORTUNITY

In August 2016, the John Cooper School in The Woodlands, Texas, opened the doors of its new state-of-the-art Rock Math & Science Center.

Designed to spark and cultivate students’ interests in STEM activity, the three-story building houses 56,000 square feet of classrooms and laboratories as well as a rooftop garden and the impressive 135-seat Ramirez Lecture Hall.

ACTION

After consulting with the School on its goals, we designed two options for exterior and interior signage to enable the School to choose the best fit for its budget, timetable, and future projects.

For the Center’s exterior signage, the School chose handsome cast aluminum letters with a brushed effect because it offered durability that would maintain quality and attractiveness for many years—even in Houston’s tough climate.

Once the scope was finalized, our in-house teams collaborated under the same roof to design, fabricate, and deliver the package in about 45 days. Because we offer these services as one point of contact, we minimize back-and-forth and eliminate the miscommunication that can threaten a project’s timeline and budget. Finally, we installed all of the signs for the School.

RESULTS

Expanding the project across the campus.

The John Cooper School was so pleased with our consultative approach for design, craftsmanship, product quality, and timely delivery that additional signage projects were planned, engineered, and finalized.

We worked to cultivate pieces that matched the Rock Art & Science Center’s new signage while preserving and complementing the campus’s existing design elements. As a result, the School now has a harmonious, complete signage scheme across its full campus, solidifying its identity as a premier educational institution worthy and deserving of donor attention.
