We understand that thoughtfully designed and organized municipal facilities can help governments serve their citizens effectively, compassionately, and with purpose. In the last five years alone, we have completed more than 230 projects for government and municipal clients. These projects have involved feasibility analyses; program statement development; master plans; HVAC analysis and replacements; lighting and utilities upgrades; preparation of plans, specifications, and contract documents; cost estimating; and design for new construction, renovations, and additions.

Our goal is to collaborate closely with our clients to design functional and easily-maintained facilities that meet the needs of government employees and help them better serve their communities. We have 76 years of experience working with government agencies, which includes office buildings, public works and park maintenance buildings, board meeting rooms, courthouses, police stations, and a wide range of other facilities. Regardless of scope, we collaborate with our clients to help ensure these spaces support long-term needs and goals. Below are a few examples of spaces and environments we have designed as part of government projects.

Managing an Occupied Renovation

Government facilities provide critical services to citizens, which means that downtime must be minimal, even during a renovation project. Clark & Enersen has developed a reputation for being the go-to firm for occupied, phased renovations that allow government facilities to remain operational during construction. This requires careful planning, and our design professionals take phasing into careful consideration early in a project to ensure construction will not negatively impact day-to-day operations.

“Our goal is to ensure that the construction process remains on schedule and within budget while also enabling individuals within these facilities to continue being productive,” says Roger Stull, a construction administrator at Clark & Enersen who is based in our Kansas City office. “Noise, dust, debris, and odors are a few examples of issues that inevitably arise, especially during demolition, and need to be considered. In the event of a full renovation, it may be necessary to create a move management plan where employees have temporary workspaces away from the construction area, which also improves safety.”
