Integrated Architecture (IA) has been selected to design Gordon Food Service's new Wyoming, MI headquarters building. The 382,000 sq. foot facility will be the home to over 1,000 employees and will be designed to enhance productivity and inspire innovation.
The GFS project is one of several that is keeping IA busy and growing according to Mike Corby, FAIA Executive VP. The increased workload has led to several recent hires, "mostly professionals, engineers, architects and designers," and the firm is still in need of a few more designers.
Corby cites IA's reputation as an award-winning, sustainable design firm as one the keys to attracting talent to West Michigan.
"We look for designers who are very passionate about their work and love what they do," he says.
Corby elaborates, saying that IA is very finicky when recruiting talent. More specifically, he says they look for "professionals with similar passion and a strong focus on design based on user experience and what makes people more productive -- not just doing interesting architecture, but what makes the experience better for the user."
