- Our team had the privilege of attending the 2026 Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team Launch — alongside the official opening of the new McLaren Racing Center in Indianapolis.

At 86,000 square feet, this isn’t just a new shop. It’s more than double the size of their previous facility and now serves as McLaren Racing’s North American headquarters. A global brand with deep European roots has officially planted its flag in IndyCar country.

This space was built to reflect how far the team has come — now 120+ strong — and where they’re headed next. It’s a home for competition, collaboration, and community. A place to welcome partners. A place to host. A place to show off. A place that says: we’re here to compete, and we’re here for the long haul.

Every detail was built to fuel focus and elevate preparation — and getting to design within the iconic McLaren orange was an absolute thrill. Bold. Fearless. Unmistakable. 🟠

Grateful for the trust and the partnership. Excited for what’s ahead. 🏁

Oklahoma Gymnastics doesn’t just win at the highest level—they set the standard. The newly renovated Oklahoma Gymnastics Center was designed to reflect exactly that: confidence, excellence, and championship legacy.

Inspired by OU Gymnastics’ iconic uniforms—known for their glitz, rhinestones, and shine—the space carries that energy into a powerful, elegant home worthy of a national champion. From the moment athletes walk in, the environment reinforces pride, focus, and the expectation to perform.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
✨ Clean whites that elevate the space and let OU pride stand tall
✨ Reflective finishes that capture movement, light, and energy
✨ Dynamic lighting that builds excitement and intensity
✨ A balance of elegance and edge—always intentional
✨ A progression of spaces that that build confidence and focus

Every detail was crafted to support the mental and emotional preparation required to compete at the highest level—because championships are built long before competition day.

Proud to help bring this vision to life for one of the most dominant programs in collegiate athletics!

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🏁

The Roush Yates Engines Heritage Center is more than a facility—it’s a bold tribute to a legendary NASCAR legacy. As the exclusive Ford engine builder for NASCAR, Roush Yates Engines powers the sport’s most competitive teams with unmatched precision and performance.

From the suspended engine that welcomes you at the entrance to the dynamic LED-lit fixture showcasing Roush Yates’ most iconic tracks—Talladega (top), Michigan (middle), and Daytona (bottom)—every element reflects the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence and deep roots in the sport.

Club 28 pays homage to the iconic No. 28 car once raced under Robert Yates Racing—honoring a legacy that laid the foundation for Roush Yates Engines.

And don’t miss the custom-designed leaderboard-inspired scoring tower—reimagined by Forty Nine Degrees as a fully functional clock. A perfect fusion of innovation, storytelling, and NASCAR tradition.

We’re honored to partner with Roush Yates Engines on this one-of-a-kind project and are proud to help bring their incredible story to life.
