Sperry Completes AT&T Cellular Store at Park Avenue & Magnolia Drive
It’s been a few years since we finished the Krispy Kreme building at the corner of Magnolia Drive and Park Avenue. We’ve been glazed doughnut fans ever since, so when we got the chance to build the new AT&T store on the opposite corner we looked at it as a sweet business opportunity.
"This was not only an interesting project from a construction standpoint," says Jon Savoy, Sperry project manager, "but coffee breaks were much better than at most job sites!"
The 6,000 sq. ft. metal-framed building features tall display windows and a copper clad tower angled off the corner of the property. The stormwater system presented the greatest challenge on this project. In order to accommodate a building this size on the site and leave room for parking, the retaining pond was actually located under the front patio.
"Another challenge was satisfying the concerns of homeowners in the neighborhood," said Savoy. "We used down lighting to minimize intrusion into neighboring areas and even selected colors that were predominant in nearby buildings so that the building would blend into the surroundings."

Pioneer Seed Research Facility
This 22,000 sq. ft expansion of an existing agricultural research facility called for extensive site work before the pre-engineered steel structure could be erected. The building includes offices, lab space and a 3,000 sq ft. "cool room" for storing seed samples. The project had to be constructed while the staff conducted normal business activities.
