Project Description

Design, art direction, and art creation for over 9,800 SF of interior murals and streetscape elements composed of printed wall coverings and 3D architectural features. Actual building photography was manipulated to create 25-foot-high murals that mimic a city street, simulating the views a transit rider would experience across the Las Vegas Valley to the west, north, and east. Three-dimensional elements, including awnings, enhance the immersive effect, while the commercial streetscape integrates recomposed imagery aligned with building openings. Along the interior perimeter, full-color vector murals of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding mountains are oriented to cardinal directions.

Beyond its visual impact, the environment plays a critical role in supporting RTC’s Mobility Training Center mission—providing a safe, air-conditioned space where seniors and individuals with disabilities can build confidence navigating public transit. The immersive streetscape allows users to practice real-world scenarios in a controlled setting, removing barriers created by extreme heat and traffic conditions.

The project received an APTA award and was recognized by ENR as a 2016 Best Project in the Government/Public Building category, reflecting its innovation and meaningful contribution to the community.
