Norman, OK

For the South End Zone stadium renovations, Xibitz executed the Populous designed recruiting spaces and lobby displays celebrating OU’s prodigious history and enduring success. The project included a curved championship display with a built-in touch-screen tablet from which visitors can select a background template and take a selfie from a ceiling-mounted camera, dimensional environmental graphics throughout the player-access spaces and hype areas, as well as fully integrated, pulsating music-driven lighting that is tailored for game-day or recruiting tours.

George & Helen Smith Athletic Museum

Cincinnati, OH

To help the University of Cincinnati engage star students and student-athletes, Xibitz assisted in creating one impressive experience after another at the University’s athletic museum. The project’s goals: Communicate the benefits and notable achievements of the University’s educational excellence and rich athletic heritage, utilizing the building’s central atrium space as a museum, archive, welcome center and recruiting vehicle.

As the contract manager for Perkins&Will | Eva Maddox Branded Environments, Xibitz produced design and build features including large-scale environmental graphics, signage elements, interactive kiosks, archival artifact displays, and interactive projection for multimedia communication, all within a pre-existing budget and very tight schedule. Custom glass display cases and engaging interactive experiences fill the Museum. Additionally, 120-foot diagonal Holopro screens are suspended six floors above the Museum’s atrium and display a visiting athlete’s most recent footage. The Celebration Walk is a custom terrazzo floor with motion sensors that trigger highlight footage on video monitors as visitors walk by. Laser-cut, internally lit 12-foot steel poles are motion-censored to display backlit text and graphics when triggered.
