Prototype Designs

By adapting a prototype design, TMP clients are able to gain ideal facilities while meeting ambitious schedules and budgets. TMP has developed prototype programs at all levels of education, allowing the ability for clients to physically tour the design before building it. Many of these TMP designs have received honors from educational and architectural organizations for their creative design and function.
