SouthEastern Illinois Electric Cooperative

SouthEastern Illinois Electric Cooperative acquired new property to improve its aging facilities and better serve its growing community. The main challenge was to design a friendly and inviting lobby space for members and offer protection for the staff. 

The Cooperative decided to move its headquarters to a highly visible new location along Hwy 13 between Marion and Harrisburg, IL. M+H Architects incorporated bullet resistant glass between the public and private spaces to ensure the safety of all their employees. The use of modern stone and wood finishes created a warm, inviting lobby for the community.
