1. CITY OF MERIDIAN Meridian, MS
OffiSource was selected to collaborate with a local architect to provide a furniture plan, selection, City Hall
and specification of furnishings for a major restoration of the Meridian City Hall. As the project
designer, I completed a furniture plan and selected furnishings that celebrate the original character
of the building and function successfully for the City’s employees. The First Floor features systems
based workstations, casegoods, and meeting spaces suited for internal activities.

2. City of Meridian – City Hall
The renovated Second Floor houses the departments that interact with the public. The architect’s concept was to create an atmosphere
of openness. To enhance architectural elements such as generous glazing, i specified lower height panels to maximize sight lines and
employee visibility. A panel system with clean lines and minimal details was selected to contrast the traditionally detailed architectural
elements. Private offices received casegoods that were reflective of the occupant’s role within the City Government. The Mayor’s suite
was completed with a formal Conference Room with custom storage cabinets.
The custom cabinetry I designed for
the Mayor’s Conference Room was to
house presentation boards and
drawing sets that are
presented to the City
for review. The cabinets
were designed to
complement the
formality of the
traditional
conference
furnishings.

The City of Meridian contacted OffiSource to complete a programming study, space plan Community
and furniture specification for the Community Development Department. The department, Development
which was moving from Pre-renovation City Hall to this location, includes four departments Department
and twenty-one employees. The program required adjacencies between specific
departments as well as varying levels of privacy for different positions. The receptionist
stations required large areas for review of maps and plans with careful attention paid to
personal safety. Additional spaces were allocated for a large conference room, copy
area, and break area as well as restrooms and a custodial closet.

6. COMCAST CABLE Jackson, MS
A local Comcast Cable office requested OffiSource provide a furniture plan for a reception Comcast Cable Office
area and private offices, a modification of the existing conference room, and finish
selections. Below is the furniture plan I developed and at right is a drawing showing the
enlarged dimensions for a build out in the conference room. The purpose of the design was
to enclose an existing support column and provide a vertical surface for a wall-mounted flat
screen television. Additionally I was asked to provide designs for signage to be used in
the reception area and the conference room; drawings are shown at bottom right.

Performing Arts,
Conference, and

This mixed use facility in the heart of downtown Meridian offers cultural and educational
experiences for the local community and visitors from all across the Southeast. The
center includes a restored Grand Opera House theatre, a studio theatre, and 30,000
square feet of meeting space. OffiSource was charged with selecting and specifying
furnishings that would
compliment the
restored interior. As the
lead designer I worked
closely with the staff of the
Riley Center throughout the
design process and was
often called upon to
complete the selections for
additional finishes, including
the upholstery for the fixed

and Board rooms. while maintaining the traditional
style that celebrates the history
of the building. The color
scheme gives a nod to the
center’s educational partner –
Mississippi State University.
The furnishings for the Classrooms and
Exhibit Hall had to be flexible as the
Center hosts many different types of
events. In addition to cultural and
educational events, the Center is
available for private parties. The
banquet furnishings allow for both
casual and formal needs while
maintaining a coordinated aesthetic
with the rest of the facility.
