Border States Electric is a product and supply chain powerhouse in the electrical, utility, and industrial industries. The company provides products, material management solutions, and delivery and logistics expertise to tens of thousands of customers across diverse industries. Their new Branch Support Center creates a workplace that will enhance teamwork and productivity, portray the company brand, and improve recruiting. It consolidated employees previously located in multiple buildings and has the capacity to house over 500 employees, provide support to their branch facilities nationwide, and was designed to account for a future expansion as Border States Electric continues to grow.
The layout is open and filled with natural light. Offices and cubicles were deliberately designed on a smaller scale to encourage the use of conference rooms, meeting spaces, and breakout areas—promoting collaboration among employees. Technology is also incorporated throughout with video conferencing capabilities, large flat-screen TVs, and an onsite studio to record company videos.
