PGAL

A hub for community connection in East Aldine.

Designed to bring civic services, public gathering space, and everyday activity together in one place, the East Aldine District Office Building and Town Center Park creates a welcoming destination for the community it serves. From flexible indoor spaces to thoughtfully integrated outdoor amenities, the project reflects a vision centered on accessibility, engagement, and long-term growth.

Spaces like these help strengthen the connection between people and place while supporting the evolving needs of the community.

Designed for discovery, creativity, and connection, Edwin J. Kiest Elementary School will create a learning environment where students can feel inspired from the moment they walk through the doors. ✏️📚

The new campus will bring together flexible classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and student-centered amenities designed to support both academic growth and everyday experiences. Thoughtfully planned for the next generation of learners, the school will reflect the evolving future of education and the importance of spaces built around community, curiosity, and connection.

We’re proud to help shape environments that will support students for years to come.

Over the past 80 years, educational design has transformed dramatically, shaped by changing technologies, teaching methods, and the evolving needs of students.

In 1958, PGAL completed its first major higher education project: Rice University’s Hamman Hall. Designed during an era centered around large-scale lectures and formal academic gathering spaces, the project marked the beginning of a long-standing commitment to creating environments that support learning and campus life.

Today, we’re continuing that work through projects like the Sam Houston State University Active Learning Center, helping create a new generation of learning environments designed for flexibility, collaboration, technology integration, and student engagement beyond the traditional classroom.

From our earliest campus projects to today’s evolving educational environments, our focus remains the same: thoughtful, forward-looking design.

80 years of design excellence, inspired by where learning goes next.

At PGAL, we design for all. This Pride Month, we're celebrating the power of people-centered spaces and the diverse voices that shape them.

From our teams to our projects, we know that better design happens when everyone has a seat at the table.

Here's to creating a more welcoming, inspiring built environment. Together.

Creativity is what transforms ideas into experiences. In celebration of National Creativity Day, our marketing team stepped a little outside our usual day-to-day to explore the hands-on side of the creative process too. ✨

From materials and textures to color and composition, it was a reminder that every great design starts with curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to create something new.

Happy National Creativity Day!

Over the past 80 years, aviation has transformed dramatically; and so has the way we design for it.

In 1969, PGAL completed its first major aviation project: Terminals A/B at Houston Intercontinental Airport. That project marked the beginning of a long-standing commitment to designing environments that support how people move, connect, and experience travel.

Today, we’re continuing that work through projects like the Terminal B Transformation at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, helping reimagine the passenger experience for the next generation.

From our first terminals to more than 25 million square feet of aviation projects, our focus remains the same: thoughtful, forward-looking design.

80 years of design excellence, and we’re just getting started.
