In New Castle, Pennsylvania, the firm designed and oversaw construction of a 65,000-square-foot distribution center, a design-build project featuring a 48-foot-high storage structure for a specialized electronic product retrieval system. The warehouse required a super-flat concrete floor for computer-assisted equipment, and its showroom complemented the company’s tableware focus. Additionally, a 50,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal structure was added, connecting to the existing warehouse with new parking and loading areas designed for efficient truck and employee logistics. A 325,000-square-foot expansion is underway, with a potential 275,000-square-foot future phase, and a temporary structure was built to address inventory overflow, all coordinated to minimize operational disruptions.
In Youngstown, Ohio, the firm renovated 23,800 square feet across three floors of the Taft Technology and Semple Buildings for new corporate offices. The modern design includes a welcome center, shuffleboard, seating, meeting spaces, employee kitchens, quiet rooms, and a quality control lab. The 14,000-square-foot quality control lab in the Semple Building involved repairing concrete floors and reconfiguring space for storage, testing, and offices, with renovated and new restrooms. An 8,000-square-foot showroom in the Commerce Building, previously an exclusive restaurant, was updated to display Steelite International’s dinnerware, flatware, and hospitality solutions, incorporating a bar and kitchen for an intimate entertainment venue overlooking downtown.
In Chicago, Illinois, a 4,400-square-foot showroom was created through interior alterations, featuring an open-concept layout with movable dividers and display cases. Carefully selected finishes and fixtures complemented open shelving and large windows, enhancing the tableware display.
These projects highlight Olsavsky Jaminet’s ability to deliver functional, aesthetically aligned spaces tailored to the client’s operational and branding needs, from large-scale industrial warehouses to sophisticated showrooms and modern corporate environments, all while ensuring minimal disruption and logistical efficiency.
