Serving the city of Huntsville requires reliable infrastructure and an equally reliable workspace. When Huntsville Utilities (HU) undertook the redesign of their 25,000-square-foot operational headquarters, they had a clear objective: to create an environment that could support the rigorous, 24/7 demands of their control center, while also fostering a modern, collaborative atmosphere across all departments.

Business Interiors partnered with HU and REL Architects and Engineers to support the project through targeted furniture solutions emphasizing durability, performance, and ergonomic comfort.

The scope of work strategically addressed key functional zones. Business Interiors provided furniture for 11 private offices and a suite of meeting spaces, including two large conference rooms and one smaller dedicated meeting area, all designed to support effective teamwork. Within the Huntsville Utilities control room, Business Interiors supplied high-performance task seating specifically selected for continuous, around-the-clock use, ensuring comfort and ergonomic support for operators during extended shifts.

From the welcoming main reception area to the two staff breakrooms, the resulting design successfully aligns function with aesthetics. It strengthens Huntsville Utilities’ commitment to both their employees and the community they serve. The new state-of-the-art Systems Operations Center officially opened in October 2025.
