Municipal Service Center for Allen, Texas –Preliminary Design is approved!
– Feb. 2, 2009 –
Five years ago The City of Allen hired Quorum Architects, Inc. to develop a master plan for a new Service Center. The Facility was to include an Administration building, Vehicle Maintenance, Vehicle Wash, Fuel Island, Covered Storage and Shop Buildings, along with a Public Safety Training building and driving course, located on twenty eight acres.
In late 2008, Quorum was awarded the project and we have been very busy working out the Programming and Design requirements for housing up to nine of the City departments.

Boomerangs Sail into North Texas
– Jan. 6, 2009 –
Boomerangs Party & Play selected Quorum Architects, Inc. to help brand their new concept, children’s activity venue. Working with a well thought out concept, we turned their ideas into a three dimensional, navigable model, bringing the Boomerangs environment to life.
The spaces include colorful inflatables to bounce, jump and slide on. For smaller kids, a toddler area offers soft toys and miniature play structures. A concession stand is conveniently located at each location for food and drinks along with an extensive gaming arcade. Private rooms are also available for birthday parties. There is even an adult area with flat screen televisions and free Wi-Fi.
With stores in Plano, Texas and Flower Mound, Texas already open and off to a great start, Boomerangs has just opened its third location in Hurst, Texas with more on the way. All three locations are a vibrant, adaptive reuse of two former grocery stores and a restaurant.
