Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, Speese Campus

The Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County (CACCC) in McKinney, Texas serves as a vital resource for abused and neglected children, providing a safe environment where victims of trauma can find support and healing. At the newly opened Speese Campus, CACCC’s goal was clear: create a trauma-informed space that balances emotional comfort with the privacy needed for sensitive conversations.

Pindrop™ acoustic solutions played a pivotal role in achieving this mission, addressing technical sound transfer challenges with thoughtful, trauma-informed design principles. Installed in a single weekend by volunteers, these panels and pieces collectively create a serene environment that calms the senses.

“Many people associate bright colors and lively patterns as inviting to children, but in this context, those design features can feel overwhelming and overstimulating to a child who has been a victim of abuse and neglect."
