Champions Barbering Institute

Champions Barbering Institute's new location is designed with a sleek look and an inspirational flair that not only speaks to the Champions brand but also creates an efficient space to facilitate learning.

Champions hired Propel Studio to design their new commercial tenant interior in the vacant retail space of an existing mixed-use building. The concept of "learning on display" is applied in this project as a means to encourage interaction and support collaboration. This 2,000+ SF storefront retail space will be transformed into a barber college with an open lobby leading to a spacious work stations and a practice area. The multi-purpose classroom is connected to the lounge and lobby area with a large window borrowing natural light and views from outside. The barber school's logo and mission statement are incorporated into the feature "super-graphic" wall adjoining the barber station area. The wood used in the slat walls, ceiling soffit & casework strengthens the Champions barbershop brand throughout the commercial mixed-use space to create a warm, inviting, collaborative learning environment.
