Equip Studio
Equip Studio’s Greenville, SC-based team brings over 40 years of architectural experience (most of it in church design) to hundreds of churches nationwide to create spaces that foster fellowship, worship, and elevate Christ above all else. Believing the Church to be one of the greatest organizations on earth, they collaborate with leaders to craft facilities that convey the unifying story of the Gospel. At the heart of their work is a deep love for people and a desire to see them flourish; they strive to cultivate an environment that encourages personal growth, strong relationships, and lifelong connection for both clients and staff. By valuing people first and architecture second, Equip Studio is transforming the architectural experience.
Sandy Gibbes brings a unique skill set to the Equip Studio team, having served as a Student Pastor at one of the largest churches in America (NewSpring Church, Anderson, SC). While at NewSpring, he led Fuse, which has become one of the largest youth ministries in the country. After helping the staff design their “Fuse” building, he ventured back to architecture where he has helped hundreds of churches through the process of facility design and construction.
Sandy earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Design from Clemson University in 2002, with an emphasis on Design and Business Practice. He also attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to acquire his professional degree in Architecture. Sandy joined Key Architecture in February of 2014, after spending nearly a decade leading the design process for the worship studio of LS3P Associates in Greenville, South Carolina.
While not working, Sandy enjoys spending time with his wife (Andrea) and kids (Sawyer, Alex, Mays, and John). He also enjoys golf and anything else sports-related.
