Institutional

Designing the Gathering Spaces of Communities

At TAIT we have designed a number of church’s, schools, and major universities to meet the needs of the community.

Our team is committed to making a positive difference in our communities. As such, we have designed and built a number of institutional developments for various organizations to gather, worship, learn, and grow. From Cal State Fullerton’s El Toro Campus in Irvine, CA, to The Crystal Cathedral, Orange County’s newest Catholic Cathedral, we at TAIT have positioned ourselves to continue to move these communities in the right direction.
