IPI is working with Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) at 1000 East Grand in Des Moines on a large remodel of three floors. The project is being completed in three phases and includes work for Panels & Seating, Metal Furniture, and Custom Wood, as well as Fort Madison Furniture. It will also provide a large amount of work for our Moving and Install Division. We have been working with IWD staff Mark Petersen, Eddie Sauls, Diana DeHeer, and Rob Fulton as well as the Directors staff on this project, and all have been fabulous to work with.
Phase one is almost complete and consisted of new modular cubicles for the east and west wings and the front reception area as well as some reupholstered panels. This work was all done in Mitchellville Panels & Seating and installed by Move & Install. Also included in phase one were three new conference rooms furnished with new barnwood tables and barnwood credenzas from Fort Madison as well as conference seating from Mitchellville. New custom wood desks and cabinetry from Custom Wood in Anamosa rounded out this phase. All the product has been received for the phase 1 project, and the moving and installation team is putting the final touches on this project.
Phase two and three are currently in the planning stage. Time frames have not been established yet, but IPI expects these phases to consist of more modular and conference room furniture.
