Texas Rangers Clubhouse
Environmental graphics and spatial identity for the Rangers’ private operations clubhouse at Globe Life Field.
- Role
- Lead Designer
- The brief
- As Globe Life Field was being built, the Rangers’ clubhouse needed to feel made for the players who would spend every day of the season there. The charge was to make it feel lived in—rooted in franchise history and built for daily focus.
- What changed
- Decades of team history translated into dimensional type, wall graphics, and architectural details players live with every day.
- Platform
- Architectural interiors & environmental installations
Built Around the Team
The clubhouse was organized around three ideas: Relentless · Passion · Fearless. Working from architectural drawings and visits during active construction, the environmental design responded to the room itself—using its circular geometry and custom millwork to build those ideas into the space.
Built Into the Room
The training space became one of the clearest places to translate the Rangers’ mentality into the environment. Organizational ideas like continuous improvement—Kaizen—showed up throughout the room, from oversized graphics and architectural typography to a stencil spray-painted directly onto the exposed concrete.
Connecting Past and Present
The clubhouse corridors created another opportunity to carry the Rangers’ identity through the space. Team phrases and dimensional marks were paired with historic numbers and imagery from Rangers history, connecting the players moving through the facility with the organization they were now part of.
Toward the Field
The tunnel marked the final transition from the clubhouse to the field. A curved mural carried Rangers history through the passage, while a sequence of phrases on the dugout stairs gave players one last reminder of the team’s mentality before stepping into Globe Life Field.
The scale of this project was unlike anything I had worked on before. Designing graphics for 80-foot walls, working with enormous files and seeing ideas that normally lived on a screen become part of a Major League ballpark completely changed my sense of scale. It’s hard to replicate the feeling of finally seeing that work at full size.
Oh, and the Rangers won their first World Series three years later. Just saying.
