Solving for Tomorrow

Missouri S&T

To launch a bold campus vision, we helped Missouri S&T introduce the Arrival District and new Welcome Center, projects that helped unlock a record $300 million gift.

When Missouri S&T set out to reimagine its campus, the challenge was as much about building a strong and innovative community as about building a new front door to campus. The university asked us to help bring their vision to life in a way that would resonate with a donor audience.

We partnered with Missouri S&T to produce two high-impact fundraising videos supporting its transformative master plan. The first film introduced the Arrival District—a new front door for the university—and conveyed its role in reshaping the campus experience and strengthening S&T’s position on the national stage. The second film spotlighted the Welcome Center, the plan’s first built project, designed to transform the way prospective students and families experience the university from day one.

Each video wove together architectural renderings, on-campus footage, and the authentic voices of faculty and students. Together, they helped Missouri S&T rally its community around a shared future and secure a historic $300 million gift—the largest ever made to a Missouri university.

The videos cast a future vision for S&T, proving that when a university’s story is told well, it can inspire extraordinary investment in tomorrow.

A New Approach

The Arrival District reimagines Missouri S&T’s campus gateway—realigning the approach off the highway, adding a Welcome Center, and creating a safer, more inspiring first impression for visitors.

Amazing Crew

Welcome!

Anchoring the new Arrival District, Missouri S&T’s Welcome Center is designed to greet prospective students and families with an inspiring, technology-rich experience.
