Goal: Watco, a transportation and supply services company, recently purchased a building in Overland Park, KS, to serve as their new corporate headquarters. They partnered with several firms to completely renovate the space to create a unique environment that would not only reflect their corporate branding and culture, but also provide an elevated work experience for their employees to enjoy.

Scope: The John A. Marshall Co. team provided high-quality office and ancillary furnishings, interior design consultation, as well as delivery and installation services using our experienced, in-house team. A variety of settings were created within the space, including private offices, workstations with collaborative areas, meeting and conference rooms, training rooms and public spaces, including a café with a variety of unique seating areas. They also invested in height-adjustable workstations to promote employee movement and wellness. Lockers for staff, as well as a variety of other storage systems, were also incorporated.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with some great people at John A. Marshall Co. They helped us take 24,000 square feet of raw office space and transform it into a unique, collaborative workspace that reflects Watco’s culture.Collaborating with them on our remodel consisting of private, open and collaborative workspace was easy and enjoyable. Jeff, the VP, stayed in constant contact throughout every stage of the process, making sure our experience from beginning to end was seamless. Our account manager, Susan, and designer, Lisa, were a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful in the selection of office furniture, cubicle designs and soft seating fabric selections. Lastly, the installation process of all furniture was extremely organized and efficient and completed with the utmost professionalism. The quality of furniture we received exceeded our expectations and will serve the company well for many years to come. In the end, you can tell John A. Marshall Co. not only cares about its clients, but also its employees—and it shows in their dedication to the job throughout every stage of the project. ”
