Goal: Our client set out to establish their new headquarters in Kansas City, MO, which not only modernized their office environment but also empowered employees to better serve their customers and members. With the rapidly evolving landscape of their industry, the company needed a facility designed to adapt alongside their business. Their vision was to create a workplace that fostered collaboration, elevated employee satisfaction, prioritized health and wellness, and encouraged consistent engagement and attendance.

This client has been a valued client of John A. Marshall Co. for 20+ years. Over the course of this long-term partnership, we’ve supported their workplace strategies and furnishing needs across multiple sites, adapting to their evolving vision for how employees work best. They entrusted our team again to provide furniture and flooring solutions for their new space.

Scope: Our client's relocation represented more than just a move. It was an opportunity to modernize, consolidate, and create a workplace that will serve the organization and its members for years to come.

• Scale: Six floors of workplace furnishings tailored to a wide range of uses—from collaborative zones to private offices, meeting rooms, dining areas, and flexible spaces.

• Seamless Delivery: Our team partnered closely with our client and HOK, the project’s architect, to align design intent with functional furnishing solutions. Every step of the process—from product selection to installation—was carefully coordinated to ensure quality, timeliness, and operational efficiencies.

• Future-Ready Workplace: The new headquarters provides a modern, engaging environment that supports well-being, technology integration, and collaboration.

We were pleased to collaborate with the full team and utilize our talented team and robust experience to exemplify how purposeful design can dramatically transform a workplace and enhance employee wellbeing.
