I worked hard on crafting a resume and then my mom drove me to the offices of the two firms. I nervously walked in, unannounced, and asked to meet the owners. Suprisingly, in both cases I was granted an audience, and in both cases I was offered a position for summer employment.

PLACE Designers | The Beginning
For me, it started with my mom. Really you could say it started with a car. Any car. I was 15 years old, and I wanted to be sure I had a car to drive when I turned 16.

I took one of my architects by there to proudly show him our firm's new project and new home. It was the beginning of the end of our relationship. He could not imagine why I would want to destroy our firm by leaving our wonderful home for this. I could not understand why he, an architect, could not visualize the possibilities.

It was clear to me, however, that the gravy days were over. Our landlord wanted to sell the building. Also, downtown Round Rock had been discovered.

we had a nice office for ourselves in the front building but we had too much space. We still have too much space. Not to fear, we began renting offices in the back to individuals and small companies and have been quite successful in doing so.

at Goldsmith Hall we had the "Pigeon Wars." All the buildings on the West Mall were inundated with pigeons and for students that liked to have their windows open they were always having to fend off pigeons on the window sills. Various spiky objects were tried with varying success. Occasional haz-mat crews would descend on the building for a general cleanup of pigeon droppings.
