BOMA’s Holiday Party
Louis + Sara Henry & Abigail Knopf
This year’s BOMA holiday party was an elegant evening filled with dinner, cocktails, & dancing – all in good company at the Kemp Auto Museum. The 2012 BOMA Board of Directors were installed as well as the presentation of the Member of the Year Award to Tina Passanise-Emig of Royal Papers. Congrats Tina!
MSBA Annual Conference & Exhibition
Last month, we attended the Missouri School Boards’ Association’s 2011 Annual Conference. The weekend long event brought over 2,000 school board members and superintendents, along with other key personnel, to the Exhibit Hall at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, Missouri.
Our booth made a splash with our progressive large-scale graphic renderings, three dimensional brochures, animated slideshow, ceramic mug give-aways, and an opportunity to win an Albert Pujols jersey.
We look forward to learning more about & building future partnerships with many of the attendees. We hope to provide them with creative learning environments for their communities in the near future.
BOMA teamed up with IREM & IFMA to host this year’s annual Industry Expo event at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet.
This is no ordinary trade show! In fact, it’s one of the most animated & fun events of the year! We volunteered to be on the event’s planning committee, which selects a new theme annually, in which to set the stage by. This year, “Building Through The Decades”, was decided on and inspired each exhibitor’s display to be driven by a particular decade in time.
Space + Form Architects’ booth was inspired by the 1990s explosion of the coffee house. We tied on our aprons and put our barista skills to the test! Different flavors of coffee and tea were served up in our company’s custom ceramic mugs, with biscotti, chocolates, and an introduction to Space + Form Architects.
Just as coffee & it’s house bring the people & their businesses together, we inspire to do the same. We build strong relationships with our clients which allow us to design functional & dynamic spaces that inspire productivity & enhance the inhabitants’ quality of life.
Marquette High School Additions
Marquette High School Library & Classroom Addition
The existing library at Marquette High School will be renovated, reconfigured & expanded to create a entirely new library experience. The entrance allows better access and visibility into the library which will now direct everyone entering through a contemporary student art gallery & display space. Ample natural lighting will help reduce the carbon footprint of the new library and better connect the library with the outdoors. The large glass exterior opening will become one of the main focal points of the new space. Another main focus of the library is an enclosed glass bridge that extends through the library’s open two story space. It will allow the corridor to pass through the library above the casual seating area. A clerestory opening within the bridge will allow natural light to filter through the bridge and into the library space below.
The new library will accommodate:
- Multiple classroom spaces equipped with Smartboards
- Open & closed computer labs
- Distance learning classroom
- Formal conference room
- Group meeting rooms
- Casual reading & laptop table areas
- Additional volumes of books
- Work room
- Staff offices & toilet
- IT network office,
- IT tech support office
- Ample storage space for IT equipment & other tech support
