Project Overview
Millsaps College's proposed fieldhouse in Jackson, Mississippi, represented a significant investment in the school's athletic and campus infrastructure. At approximately $17.4 million, the project encompassed dedicated locker rooms for football and soccer teams, coach locker rooms, weight training facilities, spectator restrooms, and a concession stand on the ground level. The second floor added coach and support staff offices, conference rooms, and a multi-purpose event space capable of accommodating a minimum of 250 guests. Two distinct delivery options shaped the pursuit scope. The client engaged PRESWERX to build a proposal package, renderings, and animations that made both options clear and compelling for the selection committee.
Client Challenges
The client faced the task of presenting a complex, two-option scope to an institutional owner with clarity and visual impact:
Communicating two distinct construction approaches, renovation versus new construction, as a single, coherent narrative that an owner could follow and evaluate
Translating architectural drawings into visuals a non-technical audience could understand before any construction began
Differentiating the client's team and approach in a competitive selection process where presentation quality mattered
Together, these challenges called for a pursuit package that was as strategic as it was visual.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX developed a complete pursuit package tailored to the dual-option nature of the Millsaps Fieldhouse project. The team produced a comprehensive proposal document that walked the owner through both the renovation and new-construction scenarios, presenting each in a way that was accessible to a non-technical audience. Architectural renderings brought each option to life, capturing the locker rooms, weight training areas, second-floor offices, and event space at a level of detail that drawings alone could not convey. Animations gave the owner the ability to move through the proposed spaces and develop a genuine understanding of the full scope and character of the transformation.
PRESWERX Approach
PRESWERX approached the project as a communication challenge as much as a visual one, building each deliverable around the owner's need to evaluate two meaningfully different options side by side:
Structured the proposal narrative to present both the renovation and new-construction options with consistent depth, making direct comparison straightforward for the owner
Developed renderings that reflected the distinct character and program of each option, from locker room finishes to the second-floor event space and office layout
Produced animations that guided the owner through the proposed spaces in sequence, reinforcing scale and program in a format that static images could not replicate
The result was a pursuit package that gave the client a confident, organized way to present a genuinely complex project.
Results Delivered
PRESWERX delivered a full set of pursuit materials built to the standard a $17.4 million institutional project demands, with each piece working together to support the client's selection presentation:
The proposal document gave the client a structured, professional narrative that clearly walked the owner through both project options without requiring technical expertise to follow
Renderings provided the owner with a concrete visual understanding of the finished product, covering key program elements across both floors and both scenarios
Animations allowed the client to walk decision-makers through the proposed facility in a way that static visuals alone could not achieve, building spatial understanding and confidence in the design
The client went into the selection prepared to present a complex, two-option scope with clarity and confidence.
