Thinkery, formerly the Austin Children's Museum, turned to The Beck Group to lead construction on its 35,000-sq-ft facility located just north of downtown Austin. The two-story, interactive museum was designed to utilize every square foot of the land it was built on, with two of the building's four sides laid out to be 1 in. off the property line.
In addition to multiple zero-lot lines, other property lines were constrained by utility right-of-ways that determined the boundary of construction. That required the Beck team to carefully coordinate its work with adjacent construction activities in the same development. The construction entrance was relocated several times, access to the work site was highly constricted and outside contractors had to be allowed on site to install infrastructure.
