Complete building and site development design of new 7,500 SF bank branch office building. A French Gothic style of architecture was included as a Client requirement. A complete land development design was included for the 3 acre site. We worked with our Client to provide zoning and replatting coordination with the City of Longview.

Johnson & Pace helped First Baptist Church perform major renovations on their existing church building. We remodeled the lower level fellowship hall, first floor office wing, third floor classroom area, breezeway, and sanctuary/atrium foyer. This included updating the lighting, restrooms, a dance floor, a commercial-grade kitchen and more. On the exterior of the church, Johnson & Pace renovated the parking lots, roof, exterior walls, and doors. We also designed the fabrication for and installation of a new copper steeple.

JPI worked with Lee Lewis Construction on a design-build project that required the expertise of all Johnson & Pace departments. The $36 million multi-use facility includes a 300,000 sf warehouse facility and a two-story, 65,000 sf office area along with an 11-acre parking lot and truck maintenance facility.

Johnson & Pace provided architectural and MEP engineering services to perform an extensive remodel of a 12,000 sf restaurant into a state-of-the-art cancer treatment clinic with physician's offices. The renovated facility features a CT scanner and particle accelerator suites.

Complete building design of new 11,300 SF office and classroom facility for ministering housing in the Longview area. Complete design of 6 new triplex housing units to provide temporary housing for moderate income families in the Longview area. A complete land development design was included for the 5 acre site. Environmental research and coordination was required with the USACE jurisdiction for the drainage channel running through the property. This site was a challenge to grade for the multiple buildings due to the steep grade across a relatively narrow site.

Buckner Retirement Services hired Johnson & Pace design a new assisted living facility, which was a new concept―Green Houses. The total project was 13,000 sf to combine the flexibility of living at home with the support of a licensed nursing facility. Each suite had a defined living area, dining room and kitchen, parlor area, and private bed and bath. The design also includes a beauty shop, spa and laundry room in each Green House.

Each cottage is built around the common “hearth room.” The Green House has several high-tech systems, including electric patient lifts for ’no hands’ assistance and a state-of-the-art nurse call system. The addition of sunlight, plants, and an outdoor garden completes the Green House.

Crosby - Lebus is the global manufacturing leader in the rigging, heavy lifting, and securement industries and is considered the standard in the industry — both nationally and internationally. Johnson and Pace played a major role as a team member of the management team who over saw the $60 million consolidation and relocation effort of the Longview, Texas facility, into a new building and location while incorporating automated and robotic processes.

Design of two new restroom facilities for public use at fairground events center.  Facilities included two men’s and women’s restrooms to accommodate the size of event crowds. A separate VIP building will house special events with open access to the remaining Fair Grounds.

Johnson & Pace was hired to design the first free-standing Five Guys restaurant in the US. Designs included a topographic survey, site plan, grading plan, storm sewer plan, utility plan, SWPPP, erosion and sedimentation control plan, and architectural design. The restaurant plans included 2,500 sf of interior space, a drive-through, patio, and site access drives.

The facility is a one-story, Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB), approximately 6,000 square feet, on an approximately 0.45 acre lot. JPI provided civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services for the new office building and lease space.

The church’s 17,000 square foot facility comprises a 440-seat worship center, nurseries, youth ministry suite, fellowship hall with kitchen, and administrative offices.  Functions are organized around a sky-lit mall through the center of the building where church members meet, greet and enjoy a European style coffee and juice bar.

JPI worked with Perry Reed to design a low-cost building that looked like no other building in Longview. The unique design started with a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) with architectural details of stonework and wooden beams. Because of the low cost of the PEMB, we were able to use higher end finishings inside to produce an innovative, beautiful office building with 10,350 sf. The new building stood next to his old office, which we then transformed to look very similar to the new building, giving a consistent look and feel to his office complex.
