Rec Department is an experiential design and fabrication studio at 787 Wheeler St NW in West Midtown Atlanta. We design, build, and install brand activations, custom installations, stage scenic, and large-format signage for brands and agencies in Atlanta and across the Southeast.
Get in touchOur shop sits ten minutes from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Midtown. When an activation needs a repaint between event days or a fix mid-run, the shop that built it is across town, not across the country. We fabricate in-house in wood, steel, aluminum, acrylic, and polycarbonate, with LED, projection, and motorized elements engineered by our own team.
Trilith World Cup watch party. A nearly three-week outdoor footprint at the Town at Trilith: a 38-foot turf wall with an LED-lit logo, an oversized soccer goal roughly 12 feet tall and 30 feet wide with a custom-crocheted net message, an LED soccer arch over 30 feet wide, and a field of oversized games. We installed it, maintained it, and loaded it out.
Dude Perfect's special projects division. For the last six years, our Atlanta shop has built for Dude Perfect: trophies, tour props, stage elements, and their brand new Overtime desk with its motorized desktop and Arduino-driven Cool Not Cool buttons.
Coca-Cola. Sculptural builds for Atlanta's hometown brand, including a hot dog teeter totter: sculpted foam, fiberglass finish, steel structure underneath.
Wellstar at Truist Park. A giant baseball repainted and rebranded for a Braves game activation, a repeat annual project with Melt Atlanta.
Brand activations and pop-ups, conference and stage scenic, foam sculpture, dimensional logos and signage, sculptural photo moments, and interactive builds. One studio from concept to install: design, engineering, fabrication, trucking, install, maintenance, and storage.
A lot of our Atlanta work arrives through agencies and event producers. We're comfortable as the build partner behind your creative: clean drawings, honest timelines, engineering wet stamps when the venue asks, and crews that show up when the dock door opens. It's why agencies stay: Brand Apart has built with us for eight years, Melt Atlanta for five.
Yes. Install, onsite maintenance for multi-week activations, load-out, and storage for pieces that come back every year.
Yes. Recent installs include Nashville, San Antonio, San Diego, Frisco, Boston, and New York.
That's most of what we do. We partner with agencies, experiential shops, and executive producers as the design-and-fabrication arm of their projects.
