IPG provided design for a new Social Security Administration office in Montgomery, Alabama. The site is an undeveloped parcel with natural low vegetation and some scattered trees. This facility has major presence in the community. Vehicular access from adjacent side streets provides inherent increased security with separate site access points for employees and the public. From their separate parking areas, the public and employees can also access separate entrance points on opposite sides of the building. All parking and vehicular areas are set back from the building exterior by a landscape buffer 25 feet wide (minimum). Accessible parking spaces are located close to both main entrances. A lighted facility sign complimenting the building façade and a lighted flagpole are located prominently on the public side of the building. Lawn areas are landscaped to comply with local ordinances using LEED credited indigenous plants and irrigation systems.

This 21,400 SF Post Office located in Jesup follows US Postal Service design criteria and security standards. This project included in-depth preliminary site assessments including geotechnical, environmental, hazardous materials, and Department of Transportation coordination. This is one of the Medium Standard Building Design projects.

IPG joined with Brown Cat Development to compete for a new VA Clinic location in Valdosta, GA. IPG used the VA’s Clinic Design Standards to create a 13,165 SF solution in the east-west wing of Ambling’s Headquarters designed by IPG years before. IPG worked with VA leadership, local VA stakeholders, and the Developer to ensure the VA criteria was met in the design. The entire interior layout was demolished to make way for all new work. IPG handled the Bid Process and handled the Construction Administration. The VA Clinic opened in late summer of 2020.

IPG was asked to help the Valdosta Mall respond to an RFP from the Department of Human Services who were looking to relocate Aging Services and Child Services offices allowing them to grow and better serve their constituents. IPG created Concept Designs showing how the space could be utilized as part of the competitive selection process. Once awarded, the IPG Design Team, Mall Leadership and Ownership collaborated to expedite design and construction.

The design called for two separate entries for Aging Services & Child Services with shared common space within the 13,668 SF The work provided new Handicapped Access, new TPO roof system with insulation, entry vestibules, large conference/training room with operable wall, office space storage and the preparation of utility connections for any other future tenants moving into what square footages were left from the vacant Sears space. The job cost bid and remained under budget. Construction Started mid to late July of 2019 with Final Completion December of 2019.
