Project Showcase: Donor Recognition Solutions Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center, University of Maryland
When
the University of Maryland Alumni Association began working on a donor
recognition program for the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center, it contacted
APCO's regional DC office for guidance. As Hugh Newell Jacobsen of
Jacobsen Architecture, LLC had already selected the APCO Accord 15
system for all interior signage at the Center, it was the natural choice
for the donor solutions as well.
There would be two phases to the program: the Donor Recognition Program and the Lifetime Member Wall.
We are excited to announce that a wide range of
AutoDesk® Revit® BIM (Building Information Modeling) objects have
been created for APCO's products and are now available at ARCAT.com.
Created by ARCAT, these BIM objects are content rich with appropriate
data, including embedded links to APCO's CSI 3-Part specs. BIM
objects represent the latest in the world of architectural
specifications and we are excited to be a part of that movement.
APCO Celebrates 45th Anniversary
APCO opened its doors in Atlanta, Georgia on August 1, 1966 as a two-person sign shop, taking on any project possible just to pay the bills. After 45 years, APCO has evolved into a worldwide leader in the
development and manufacturing of architectural sign systems, with 15 offices throughout the US and distribution in 15 countries around the world. Although we've grown on a global scale, APCO remains a
family business, true to the principles of service and innovation that have made us successful through the years.
