Leaders at ClosetMaid wanted to update their office building to create a more department-specific, modern space to better support the needs of each employee. With the help of HKS, Hunton Brady, and Common Sense Office Furniture, ClosetMaid chose OFS furniture to bring a warm, homeful feel to their updated office.

Inspired by Steve Spurriers’ successful football career with the Gators, Scott + Cormia envisioned a restaurant where they would raise the bar of interior and architectural design to craft a high-end sports bar that felt elegant and inviting. With warm textiles and natural materials, the space feels both upscale and casual. They chose to include OFS for the classic, simple, lines and wide selection of lounge and cafe furniture options. Today, furniture, architecture, and design work together to create a restaurant that brings people together.

The new American Indian Hall at Montana State University represents a place of honor, recognition, restoration, and education on the university’s campus. Crafted in partnership with the vision of alumni Dennis Sun Rhodes and Jim Dolan, this new hall serves as a home for native students as well as office and educational space for the Department of Native American Studies.

Montana State University hosts over 800 Native American students, so this space, complete with a communal kitchen, drum room, classrooms, offices, Native art gallery, and a student commons provide space for students to study, connect, and build community. The hall also serves as a bridge between American Indians and other cultures on campus by welcoming visitors to explore art, find knowledge, explore gardens, interact with Indigenous wisdom, and more.

Shoutout to everyone who made this incredibly inspiring project possible, but especially Dennis Sun Rhodes, Jim Dolan, and local tribal elders, who guided the authentic design.

Aims Community College wanted to create a one-stop shop for their Greeley, Colorado campus, where students could come for a variety of resources. The Student Commons houses areas for enrollment, assessment, academic testing, transcript processing, advising, financial aid, and payment in one place, meaning it needed to support a variety of work styles and needs.
