BGK Architects was honored by the IIDA Oklahoma & Texas Chapter for their innovative design of the Make It Center at Austin Community College District’s Highland Campus. Located on the second floor of the former Highland Mall, the Make It Center invites visitors of all ages to explore career pathways through hands-on discovery.
This project marks a continuation of BGK’s nearly decade-long collaboration with ACC on the transformation of the Highland Mall. The design seamlessly integrates natural wood accents, perforated metal elements, and acoustic felt ceiling panels, contrasted by exposed steel and overhead mechanical systems.
The space serves as a dynamic hub for lectures, presentations, showcases, simulations, and even includes a fab lab. Truly, the Make It Center is an immersive environment designed to inspire and engage.
