Alabama A&M University | Welcome Center

Alabama A&M University in Huntsville recently celebrated the ribbon cutting and opening of their new Welcome Center.

The center serves as a university hub. It houses the admissions department as well as conference and dining areas. The center will also include commercial restaurants, such as a Chick-fil-A that is already open, and a Starbucks that is scheduled to open next year.

This is a high-profile project in the heart of the campus. We are proud to be a longtime partner of Alabama A&M. The BI Team worked with the university and Huntsville-based Nola | VanPeursem Architects on the project.

Luckie & Company

LUCKIE, an innovative, 70-year-old brand agency, made a strategic move. They relocated their longtime headquarters from a suburban business park to a renovated warehouse in downtown Birmingham.

Business Interiors partnered with Williams Blackstock Architects, who defined the shape of the interiors. BI was tasked with providing furnishing solutions for both open and private workspaces, as well as open and semi-private collaborative and meeting spaces. The project needed to inspire the employees and their clients, given the agency’s reputable history and consistent innovation in the highly competitive advertising market.

IDIE Award Winner
The BI Team’s work on the Luckie project earned a major honor. We won the IDIE Award for “Furniture Install | Small” at the biannual 2023 IIDA Alabama IDIE Awards last Friday evening.

Congratulations to the BI team members that worked on the Luckie project, and congratulations to all the other firms, dealerships, and IDIE Award winners who submitted projects to this year’s awards. It was a wonderful night celebrating design excellence.

Fetch

 

The Wisconsin-based rewards app company Fetch opened a new Birmingham branch earlier this year. Located in the former headquarters of real estate company Shannon Waltchak, the building was the area’s first-of-its-kind sustainable shipping container office. The new location provides employees with a landing space for in-person meetings and collaboration, and individual workstations, a complement to Fetch’s remote-first hybrid office model.

 

The BI team assisted Fetch in all aspects of the renovation, including coordinating new paint, new carpet, millwork, electrical, acoustical materials, and furniture. Great job, all!

Alabama A&M University | Foster Dining Center

 

The previous Alabama A&M dining facility was outdated and very rarely used. The addition of soft seating and combinations of high top seating areas with colorful blends of fun fabrics successfully gave the space new life. This success has inspired A&M to carry this concept throughout other existing dining facilities, with two additional projects in process. Great job, Huntsville team!
