Rec Department is the team brands, artists, and agencies hire when nobody knows who to call. The obscure, the oversized, the crazy-sounding thing that has to exist by a hard date: we design it, engineer it, build it, and install it. One team from first sketch to final bolt.
Get in touchIn-house foam sculpting and finishing in Atlanta: oversized props, mascots, characters, replicas, and dimensional objects, sculpted by CNC and by hand, fiberglass-finished, painted to brand color, and engineered on steel to stand up, hang, or take a crowd. More on foam sculpting.
Physical brand experiences built to pull a crowd: photo moments, interactive games, branded environments, multi-week outdoor footprints. We handle install, maintenance, and load-out so the activation looks as good on day 20 as it did at kick-off.
Large-scale sculptural builds, oversized objects, dimensional logos, and scenic elements in wood, steel, aluminum, polycarbonate, acrylic, and paint. If it doesn't exist yet, that's the assignment.
Main stage and breakout stage scenic, LED fascia, SEG backdrops, and hanging elements for conferences and live events. Engineered to rig safely and install fast.
LED integration, projection-ready surfaces, motorized mechanisms, and custom electronics. Our in-house engineer designs the mechanism, then we build the thing around it.
Painted, fabricated, and rigged. From a 22-foot hanging sign on a steel frame to a wall of dimensional letters, built to spec.
The category for things without a category. A miniature Airstream. A hot dog you can ride. A mascot sculpture for an NBA arena. If the brief starts with "this might sound crazy," you're in the right shop.

Concept. We start with the idea and the constraints: audience, venue, budget, timeline.
Design. Drawings, renders, material samples, and engineering. You see exactly what you're getting before we cut anything.
Experience. We fabricate in our Atlanta shop, truck it, install it, and stand behind it. Storage available for pieces that come back.
Brands, artists, agencies, event producers, universities, and venues. Clients and projects include Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola, Delta, AT&T, Aflac, Dude Perfect, WK Kellogg Co, SAIA, and Vanderbilt University. We work direct or as the fabrication partner behind your agency.
And once clients start, they tend to stay. Brand Apart has built with us for eight years, Dude Perfect for six, Melt Atlanta for five. First projects turn into standing relationships, because the work shows up and so do we.
We're based at 787 Wheeler St NW in West Midtown Atlanta and build for clients across the Southeast and nationwide. Recent installs: Atlanta, Nashville, San Antonio, San Diego, Frisco, Boston, New York.
