Our Design Team

To help ensure that INIFNITY Science Center will be an attraction like no other, we have put together an award winning team of designers and builders. INFINITY is proud to recognize the following companies who are working hard to make INFINIY the best it can be.

Studio South Architects, PLLC, a joint-venture between Guild Hardy Architects PA of Biloxi, Miss., and Allred McNabb of Pascagoula, Miss., was chosen to serve as the Architect of Record for this unique project. Services provided by Studio South Architects include the creation of construction documents including contract drawings, development of specifications, and project coordination and management.

In addition to the NASA Infinity Science Center, Studio South has extensive experience working as Architect of Record with many large, national firms for major projects along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A few examples include the Ohr-O’Keefe Museums of Art (Frank Gehry), Research and Interpretive Center of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (Lord, Aeck & Sargent of Atlanta), Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center Expansion (Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates of Atlanta) and the Forrest Heights Boys and Girls Club of Gulfport (Daniel Leibskind).

Studio South Architects, a full service architectural and interior design firm, was formed as a separate corporation by Guild Hardy Architects PA and Allred McNabb PA in 1997 to share resources and better serve their clients. Studio South is the largest architectural firm in south Mississippi with 12 registered architects and 15 intern architects located in two offices (Biloxi and Pascagoula). With two LEED accredited architects on staff, Studio South understands the importance of sustainable design and eco-friendly buildings as it strives to set the standard of green design in the region.
