The Challenge:

Design the first retail storefront for United Parcel Service (UPS) and provide a prototype for evaluation by company executives and shareholders.

AE Design Solution:

In conjunction with a national retail marketing firm that provided the concept, we built a working model with a glass partition that divided the facility into areas for 24-hour access and business-hours access on a location near UPS headquarters, which enabled executives to easily evaluate the interaction of the built environment and the store's daily operations.
