Transforming the Cleveland Guardians' Administrative Building

Client: Cleveland Guardians   I    Design: RiseDBI   I   Fabricator: Xibitz

Progressive Field opened in 1994. The Cleveland Guardians administrative building hasn’t been renovated since. As part of a larger revitalization to the ballpark, the administrative building received a well-deserved modernization. With RiseDBI leading the experience design, we fabricated and installed a suite of elements, graphics, and displays across the five floor building.

The scope included custom millwork, environmental branding, display cases, and experiential elements. Every detail needed to be cohesive and precise. When telling the story of a franchise dating back to 1901, quality is everything.

One of our favorite elements is the bat display, comprised of 85 Louisville sluggers. The mounting rails are machined to fit each bat, making them appear to float off the wall. It’s small details like these that make all the difference.

The result is an inspiring work environment that celebrates the Guardians and the people who make game day, and every day, possible.

We also installed a 60-cell Nostaboard in the ballpark’s Terrace Hall. Featuring player photos, quotes, and iconic Cleveland imagery, the split-flap display levels up the fan experience outside the Terrace Hall cafe. The Nostaboard depicts the Guardians’ excellence, legacy, and deep connections to Cleveland—bringing it all back to focus on what really matters: the game.
