Location: Ames, Iowa
Completion Date: August, 2016
Project Size: 2,250 sq. ft. Remodel; 1,800 sq. ft. New
Abstract: Manatts, a local paving contractor, needed additional space for their Ames, Iowa office personnel. After looking at the option of a completely new building, they chose instead to add onto their existing 13th Street facility.

The existing 2,250 square foot metal building was originally built in 1993. Manatts desired a more contemporary aesthetic and wanted to update their visual presence while also increasing the building footprint by about 1,800 square feet.

The project involved completely gutting the existing building and providing a new reception area, restrooms, private offices, break room and central open workspace for use by estimators working collaboratively on projects. Company colors of red and grays were incorporated into the new entry and interiors, creating a cohesive experience that provides a dynamic statement to passerby.
