For 30 years, our experiential design firm honed its reputation on the creation of strategic brand experiences in built environments for higher education through signature visual communications and integrated digital media.

How Can We Transform Your Next Campus Project?

An 80-year-old building becomes digitally relevant again as a vibrant space of learning, inspiration, and collaboration. New construction incorporates mission, story, and digital exhibitry to create a sense of place and seamlessly integrate into an existing campus. Donors are celebrated with unique feature elements and digital storytelling to recognize the importance of their contribution and incite robust giving in the future.

Our experience design experts nimbly adapt to changing schedules and strict academic calendars. This keen understanding of the balance of construction contractors, project managers, and infrastructure timeframes results in adherence to deadlines and budgets because time is money.

Alluring Admissions

Higher education admissions are competitive to attract the best and brightest to your campus. Space matters and creates attraction. Time is the currency of space design. The longer time spent in a space the more emotionally connected you become. This is a powerful tool in the recruitment process.

ZEBRADOG gives your school the edge by strategically designing unique, branded experiences that create shared memories and makes a lasting impression on prospective students.

Smarter Learning Environments

Space, money, and time are the three biggest challenges university project managers face when embarking on the building, renovation, or restoration of an academic facility. ZEBRADOG excels at infusing the vision values, brand, and stories of any college of study into its hallways (and stairwells and gathering spaces) to maximize the ratio of storytelling to square footage.

We believe every student’s journey through their college shapes them into the person they become.

Welcoming Student Unions

The student union is constantly evolving and moving. Incorporating programming for food and beverage, cultural events, activities, AND live music in its interdisciplinary design is complicated. Determining the visual brand and voice to direct people through its facilities and experiences is an enormously important consideration when renovating or constructing this communal space.

ZEBRADOG embraces input from students and facility partners to create inclusive spaces that are thoughtful, rich, and inviting to relax and foster lifelong relationships and memories.

Every union has a story, how can we tell yours?
