CITY OF MERIDIAN                                                                                               Meridian, MS

OffiSource was selected to collaborate with a local architect to provide a furniture plan, selection,          City Hall
  and specification of furnishings for a major restoration of the Meridian City Hall. As the project
designer, I completed a furniture plan and selected furnishings that celebrate the original character
of the building and function successfully for the City’s employees. The First Floor features systems
         based workstations, casegoods, and meeting spaces suited for internal activities.




                                                                                          Drawings are the property of OffiSource, Inc. and are used by permission.

The renovated Second Floor houses the departments that interact with the public. The architect’s concept was to create an atmosphere
  of openness. To enhance architectural elements such as generous glazing, i specified lower height panels to maximize sight lines and
  employee visibility. A panel system with clean lines and minimal details was selected to contrast the traditionally detailed architectural
elements. Private offices received casegoods that were reflective of the occupant’s role within the City Government. The Mayor’s suite
                               was completed with a formal Conference Room with custom storage cabinets.




                The custom cabinetry I designed for
                the Mayor’s Conference Room was to
                house presentation boards and
                              drawing sets that are
                              presented to the City
                              for review. The cabinets
                              were designed to
                              complement the
                              formality of the
                              traditional

        The Third Floor includes offices and a conference room for the City Council and a multi-use area to be utilized for public
        meetings and private events. Similar in aesthetic to the Second Floor, furnishings were selected for private offices, a
                                                 conference room, and the auditorium.

 The City of Meridian contacted OffiSource to complete a programming study, space plan                    Community
 and furniture specification for the Community Development Department. The department,                    Development
 which was moving from Pre-renovation City Hall to this location, includes four departments               Department
 and twenty-one employees. The program required adjacencies between specific
 departments as well as varying levels of privacy for different positions. The receptionist
 stations required large areas for review of maps and plans with careful attention paid to
 personal safety. Additional spaces were allocated for a large conference room, copy
 area, and break area as well as restrooms and a custodial closet.




                                                                                     Drawings are the property of OffiSource, Inc. and are used by permission.

A local Comcast Cable office requested OffiSource provide a furniture plan for a reception                    Comcast Cable Office
area and private offices, a modification of the existing conference room, and finish
selections. Below is the furniture plan I developed and at right is a drawing showing the
enlarged dimensions for a build out in the conference room. The purpose of the design was
to enclose an existing support column and provide a vertical surface for a wall-mounted flat
screen television. Additionally I was asked to provide designs for signage to be used in
the reception area and the conference room; drawings are shown at bottom right.
