Performance Drone Works | Denver Engineering Hub

Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, Performance Drone Works (PDW) is a growing defense technology company specializing in unmanned systems. Business Interiors’ relationship with PDW began in Huntsville, where our team has supported multiple projects as the company has grown. In 2026, that relationship extended to Denver as PDW opened a new Engineering Hub as part of its expanding national engineering footprint.

An early visit to Denver gave our team the opportunity to experience the space and its architectural finishes firsthand. With flexibility to explore finishes and textiles, our design team drew inspiration from the space to develop a furniture palette that complemented the interior while giving the workplace a cohesive identity. Davis Partnership Architects served as the architecture firm for the project, with BI coordinating furniture placement with the Davis team to support the overall plan.

BI’s scope included 62 workstations, 12 private offices, two huddle rooms, two phone rooms, three collaborative areas, a breakroom, reception and lobby, and a wellness room. Herman Miller Canvas Vista was selected for the open work areas, helping define individual workspaces while maintaining an open feel and preserving views of the city and surrounding mountains.

The Denver project represents another step in a growing relationship between PDW and Business Interiors. With an additional phase planned in Denver, the furniture solutions developed for the new Engineering Hub are also helping establish a standard that can carry into future PDW locations and updates.

Chilton County Courthouse

For more than six decades, Chilton County conducted much of its government business from a courthouse built in the early 1960s. As the county grew, so did the demands on the facility. Limited accessibility, aging infrastructure, space constraints, and county services spread across multiple locations ultimately led county leaders to pursue a new courthouse designed around the needs of residents today and well into the future.

The new approximately 72,000-square-foot Chilton County Courthouse in Clanton brings courtrooms, administrative offices, licensing functions, and support services together in a central location. Situated along Alabama Highway 145, the courthouse was designed as a more accessible and efficient hub for county government, while the larger site provides room for future expansion as the community continues to grow.

Business Interiors worked alongside Chilton County and Birchfield Penuel Architects to provide furniture solutions throughout portions of three floors of the new facility. BI’s scope supported approximately 40 private offices as well as shared offices, open work areas, conference rooms, break rooms, reception and waiting areas, and a variety of administrative and public-service environments.

The scope also extended to spaces with needs specific to the courthouse and county operations, including Grand Jury and Trial Prep areas, high-density filing, select Probate Court furnishings, and furniture for the County Commission auditorium. Across these varied applications, the furniture package supports the people responsible for carrying out the county’s day-to-day work as well as the residents who depend on those services.

The courthouse opened in 2026 as a new center for civic and government activity in Chilton County—bringing previously dispersed functions together in a facility created to serve the community for years to come.

Children’s of Alabama | Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Children’s of Alabama’s 12th Floor Pediatric Intensive Care Unit expands critical care capacity within the Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children. The 50,000-square-foot unit includes 50 inpatient ICU rooms across two bed towers. It also brings the PICU and Special Care Unit into one centralized critical care environment.

Business Interiors partnered with Children’s of Alabama and Poole & Company to provide furniture solutions throughout the unit. Scope included patient rooms, family waiting, consult rooms, respite areas, and staff lounge spaces. BI also supported private and shared offices, a large conference room, and nurse stations.

The Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children opened in 2012, so continuity played an important role in the project. BI maintained established hospital furniture standards where they still performed well. The team also supported targeted updates where comfort, cleanability, durability, and family experience were especially important.

To guide key selections, BI hosted a “Furniture Fair” at Children’s of Alabama. Staff members and select families evaluated sleeper sofa and recliner options. Their feedback helped guide decisions for pieces that support long hours at a child’s bedside.

The project required careful coordination across multiple delivery paths. Some furniture shipped directly to the site, while other products moved through the BI warehouse. Drawing on a long-standing relationship with Children’s of Alabama, the BI team coordinated details from selection and standards alignment through installation.

The project team completed the work early, which helped support a smooth patient transition from the 7th Floor to the new 12th Floor PICU. The result is a critical care environment that expands Children’s of Alabama’s ability to serve patients while supporting the families, caregivers, and staff who use the space every day.

Bank Independent | Team Campus

Bank Independent’s new Team Campus in Muscle Shoals brings team members from multiple locations across Lauderdale and Colbert counties into one shared workplace designed to support collaboration, efficiency, and long-term growth.

The four-story campus includes a range of workplace settings and amenities, including conference rooms, training rooms, focus rooms, wellness rooms, patios, café space, executive areas, and operational workspaces. Together, these environments support the bank’s day-to-day operations while creating a central hub for its people, culture, and future growth.

Business Interiors supported the project with furniture solutions for key shared, training, and executive spaces, including conference rooms, training rooms, private dining rooms, C-suite seating, task seating, and select open area furnishings. Working alongside the project’s design and construction partners, BI helped provide furniture applications that support connection, flexibility, and the larger workplace experience envisioned for the campus.

The project team included LED Architecture as architect, KPS Group as associate architect, ASD|SKY as interior designer, and Robins & Morton as general contractor.
