One of the highlights of each year for our gym equipment group is seeing the fruits of our labor in the annual Athletic Business Architectural Showcase. While we don’t get to see the final outcome of the vast majority of our gym equipment projects, it’s enjoyable and useful for us to experience the end product.
In 2025, 6 Draper projects were featured in the Architectural Showcase.
