Corporate Facilities

PLJBD has had the privilege of designing corporate facilities for multiple companies in the region.  Most of these have developed into long lasting relationships due to our commitment to quality design and ability to listen to the customers' needs and expectations.

Sparklight

Joplin, MO (Formerly 'Cable One')

  • Cable One had outgrown their former building location and it did not allow them to expand their tele-communications system for the projected growth on the internet / phone industry.
  • The nearly 9,000 S.F. facility allowed Cable One to establish a new tele-communications hub in a severe weather resistant structure.
  • A modern open office concept was implemented to allow their staff collaborative interaction that wasn’t possible in the former location.

SNC Squared

Joplin, MO

  • After the 2011 Joplin Tornado nearly destroyed this building, SNC acquired the property and PLJBD began the design process to create their new corporate headquarters. 
  • The 2-story building is designed to reflect the high-tech electronic/data service that SNC provides their clients. Much of the exterior appearance was inspired by pixels.  
  • The life-like computer generated rendering allowed the clients to see what the building would actually look like, inside and out, before construction even started. 

Jackson County Animal Shelter

Independence, MO

  • This 27,169 S.F. facility on a 6-acre lot was constructed to replace the existing City of Independence animal shelter and provide for additional county usage.
