Local Companies Partner to Create Dream Space for Georgetown Kids
Recent funding from the Williamson County Community Block Development Grant Program has allowed the Boys & Girls Club of Georgetown (BGCG) to double their current building to keep pace with their rapidly expanding membership. Moman Architects, J.Jacobs Commercial, Boyer & Associates, FHI, Keystone Concrete, City Mechanical Plumbing, Austin Air Conditioning, Sable Electric, AYS Engineering, Caskey Drywall and several other local businesses donated a portion of their services to complete the meaningful project, which was constructed in just 100 hours from May 3 through May 7. Hundreds of talented volunteers and trade professionals worked around the clock to give the BGCG members a new inviting and colorful space in time for summer.
Kicking-off their long-awaited building expansion, the BGCG hosted a party called “The Path to Greatness” on Saturday, May 1, empowering local kids and teens through a fun and inspirational day of live music, food, and art. University of Texas football players attended in support of the club, as well as Round Rock Express’ mascot Spike and many local elected officials.
The BGCG is an affiliate of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Texas providing a variety of group recreational, educational, arts, and social programs for all youth ages 7-17. Since it’s inception in 2006, the Georgetown location has grown from 100 members to over 400 in just over four years. For more information visit www.bgctxclubs.org.
Moman Architects Diversifies Portfolio with New Dental Design Collaboration
In early 2010, Moman embarked on a new and exciting partnership with Buda, TX-based Practice Design Group (PDG), which has since yielded two projects in Central Texas. PDG offers solutions based on their in-depth knowledge of the dental practitioner; founders, Jeff Carter, DDS, a former practicing dentist and his wife, Pat Carter, IIDA, is an established interior designer. The award-winning pair has consulted on numerous new construction and remodel projects across the country, and are experts in their industry.
The first dental facility is a 2,200 square foot space located in Austin, TX, currently in the design stage. The second facility is a 3,100 square foot building scheduled for construction in Llano, TX and is in the preliminary planning phase.
Since their inception, Moman has completed several buildings for healthcare professionals and dentists. PDG will provide all the interior design elements for both spaces including dental programming, floor plan development, material selection and finishes. Moman will design the exterior structures and assist with the interior plans and details, coordinate engineering, generate construction drawings and obtain permitting. Both firms will conduct site visits throughout the construction process.
The PDG and Moman collaboration offers dental clients a unique understanding of their specific needs, superior localized service and unprecedented results. “A collaborative spirit of cooperation with the client’s best interests as paramount have made for successful partnerships,” says PDG Principal, Pat Carter.
