Goal: The mission of the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) is to improve the health of Kansans. KHF’s goal for the redesign of their space was to create a more open, welcoming, and collaborative environment for their employees and visitors.

Scope: The most significant changes to the space included the replacement of exterior walls with glass, the introduction of transparency between areas, and making the office feel larger and brighter. A striking, modern staircase was also constructed to enhance connectivity between the foundation’s two floors. Additionally, active and amenity-rich spaces were designed to support employee collaboration, productivity, and guest engagement.

Shelden Architecture and McCown Gordon partnered with the John A. Marshall Co. team to transform KHF’s office into a contemporary workspace that reflects the visual essence of Kansas and encourages collaboration. The updated design features colors and textures inspired by the Kansas landscape.

Our team provided a variety of collaborative furniture solutions, including conference rooms, informal meeting areas, focus rooms, an incubator space, as well as dining and lounge areas. We also worked to re-purpose existing workstations, preserving an open layout while supporting sustainability.

Featured Products: OFS, Kimball International, Senator, Mayer Fabrics, Enwork, SitOnIt, HAT Collective, Encore, and Architex

“Our vision was to create a welcoming space that reflects Kansas and embodies our mission to help Kansas lead the nation in health. We needed furniture that would not only look beautiful, but also support collaboration, flexibility, and the wellbeing of our staff and partners. John A. Marshall Co. delivered a curated furniture package that combined style, performance, and adaptability, exceeding our expectations. Their thoughtful approach to palettes, finishes, and product lines ensured every detail contributed to a cohesive and welcoming environment. They understood our vision immediately and guided us through the process with creativity, responsiveness, and expertise. The result is a workplace that is both functional and inspiring—that supports how we work today and prepares us for tomorrow. ”
