Butler-Cohen Design + Build

Celebrating the ribbon cutting at Anne Frank Inspire Academy - Bandera Rd and the opening of a new addition built to support the way their students learn. ✂️🎉

This new space brings together classrooms, labs, and collaborative areas designed for hands-on, inquiry-based learning, something AFIA is known for across San Antonio. From flexible learning environments to shared spaces that encourage problem-solving and teamwork, every part of this project was built with that approach in mind.

Proud to have partnered with Inspire Academies, BRAINATION, and Grace Design Studios to bring this to life. Appreciate everyone who helped make it happen.

Proud to deliver this multi-level buildout for Rice University Development and Alumni Relations. 🧩 🏢

Designed to support collaboration, engagement, and the day-to-day operations of the advancement team, the 12,500 SF space brings together private offices, open work areas, conference rooms, and flexible meeting environments across multiple levels. High-end finishes and clean glass-front systems create a professional, welcoming atmosphere that aligns with Rice University’s brand and mission. ✨ 🪟

Huge Shoutout to the Rice University Development & Alumni Relations, Tramonte Design Studio , Transwestern and our Butler-Cohen project team. 🤝

Our 2026 retreat at Horseshoe Bay was a great reminder of what makes Butler-Cohen special: a team that works hard, shows up for each other, knows how to have fun, and makes time to recognize the people behind the work!! 🛠️

With Houston, Central Texas, and West Texas all together, it gave everyone a chance to step away from the day-to-day and spend real time together. A mix of outdoor activities, time to relax, and a company program with some employee awards 🏆 brought everyone together before the night turned into poker ♠️ and a cigar social.

We wrapped it up with a Build a Bike giveback 🚲 benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Highland Lakes, a solid way to close out a really good trip.

Grateful for this group and everything they bring to Butler-Cohen. 🤝
