A "one-stop-shop" for Spartanburg County and the City of Spartanburg: This project marks the first-ever joint city-county government facility in Spartanburg, SC--combining resources for the benefit of all. Located at the corner of South Church Street and West Broad Street, a five-story municipal complex will streamline government services for residents. This project was made possible through the funding provided by the one-cent capital sales tax, which was approved by voters in 2017. The design blends Spartanburg's historic charm with modern features like a glass lobby, sleek masonry details, and an asymmetrical layout, all while honoring downtown's historic charm. The complex will house a new chamber, meeting rooms, and welcoming outdoor spaces for public use. A big shoutout to our incredible MPS Spartanburg team and our project partner David M. Schwarz Architects for bringing this municipal building to life. Construction is set to begin this October, with completion expected in two years. #spartanburgsc

Is your healthcare facility ready for the unexpected? 🌪️ 🌩️ Disaster-resilient healthcare design goes beyond durability—it’s about safety, operational continuity, and sustainability. Recent natural disasters have reinforced a critical lesson: hospitals and other critical healthcare facilities must be designed to withstand and operate during crises. From hurricanes and flooding to wildfires and earthquakes, hospitals rely on redundant power, flood protection, and structural resilience to keep patients and staff safe and life-saving services running. By integrating smart infrastructure, emergency preparedness planning, and sustainable solutions, hospitals can stay operational when communities need them most. 🔗 Learn more: Disaster-Resilient Healthcare Facilities https://hubs.li/Q03fgvfS0 #resilientdesign #disasterpreparedness #healthcaredesign #mps #mpsarchitecture #ideastakingshape
