Everyone knows we design buildings for a living; less is known about the important steps we take with our clients before design even begins. Community engagement events allow IA's architects and designers to communicate directly with the people who will be most impacted by a project. At events like this one for Adams Park Apartments, we can get to know the residents, neighbors, and stakeholders, and hear direct feedback on what they would like to see in the new building entering their community. Their feedback informs every aspect of the design including furnishings, amenities, outdoor areas, and universal accommodations.

The Kollen Park Fire Station in Holland, Michigan, is getting a complete renovation and 2,500 square-foot addition! The project involves upgrading the facility to meet modern safety standards, accommodate changing equipment needs, and improve operational efficiency. The crew's living quarters will be modernized with single-occupancy dorm rooms and bathrooms, and decontamination rooms for dirty gear will reduce exposure to harmful contaminants and biohazards from calls.

The new Isabella County Jail & Sheriff's Office is nearing completion! IA was tasked with designing a new facility to replace the outdated 1950s building that Isabella County currently utilizes. Undersized and inefficient, it is costly to operate and functionally outdated. The new complex will serve Isabella County for many years to come and allow for operational adaptations to keep up with regulations, best practices, and security technologies. The facility will provide full inmate visibility, and an environment better suited to both inmates as well as corrections officers. #architecture #builtenvironment #michiganarchitecture

It's Back to School Month, and we wanted to feature some of our favorite educational designs. Today we're talking about the Donald W. Maine College of Business at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With 60,000 sq. ft. of modern classrooms, private study rooms, and a large open atrium, the College provides a sustainable learning environment for future business leaders. Our modular integrated terminals and diffusers offer flexibility with multiple designs for both traditional and casual learning setups. This LEED Silver-certified building is not only a beautiful and comfortable space that reflects current business environments, but it is also adaptable enough to support Davenport’s vision for years to come. "The COB maintains optimized flexibility for the future through the use of a Raised Access Floor (RAF) system. Not only does this system provide underfloor access to power and data systems, but it also contains the air distribution network for the building — a benefit in user control and optimal thermal zoning for students and faculty." https://lnkd.in/g2WMrBPP Integrated Architecture #ufad #raisedaccessfloor #highereducation #LEED #airfixture

Great progress is being made on the Silva project! The ambitious vision for Silva is built on combining the past and present with tradition and innovation to create a dynamic entertainment space unlike anything Grand Rapids has seen. The iconic 103-year-old, 40,000 square foot landmark in the heart of the Monroe North neighborhood will feature a restaurant, bar, private event space, and state of the art bocce courts. Inspiration for the design draws from the rich history and existing architectural character, preserving original elements such as the brickwork and wooden beams while infusing it with an eclectic twist. Construction will be completed in 2025. #architecture #architecturedesign #historicbuildings Rockford Construction

Tomorrow is Michigan Football's first home game of the season. To celebrate, we're highlighting our recent football locker room project! The 14,000 square foot space includes personalized individual lockers, a barber shop, and entertainment spaces including a lounge, pool table, and two bowling lanes to facilitate team bonding. Every detail was designed specifically to support the needs of the team so they can go into every game, home and away, prepared to win. IA is proud to have supported UM Athletics on this project and for over a decade with multiple other projects within Schembechler Hall, and many other projects across the athletic campus. Go Blue!

Proud to be working with this team on this important community housing project.
Here is a short video recap of our Groundbreaking last week for Lakewood Village Apartment Place. This development will offer 190 mixed-income units across seven buildings and will help address the need for workforce housing in the area. Thanks to Nic Kasten Photography for creating this for us.
