Hoffman assisted the YMCA in planning a renovation that would bring the YMCA of the Fox Cities corporate offices to its Downtown Appleton location. Hoffman also oversaw renovations that created a personal training area that is separate from the YMCA’s common wellness spaces.

The new spaces were designed to offer staffing efficiencies as well as enhance member experiences. Splitting out the personal training area allows small group training sessions to have a dedicated space that won’t interfere with the general wellness spaces.

The remodel of the wellness area included 2,000 sq. ft. of space, combining an existing racquetball court and men’s fitness locker room to provide ample room for the YMCA’s personal training staff and equipment. Features include rubber and turf sport flooring, an industrial open ceiling system, and specialized equipment for individual or group performance training. The office renovation portion consisted of roughly 1,600 sq. ft. of offices, kitchen amenities, conference rooms, and storage areas. The remodeled space now houses the YMCA’s financial and I.T. staff.

The YMCA of the Fox Cities is also working with Hoffman to replace the Soldiers Square parking ramp located across the street from the YMCA’s Downtown Appleton facility. Hoffman has deconstructed the existing ramp and will oversee the design and construction of a new 311-stall ramp. The new ramp should be ready for use in 2022.

Looking to expand their reach in Milwaukee, Sola Salon Studios selected Hoffman to help bring their next location to life. In just ten short months, Hoffman transformed the ground floor of an existing six-story, mixed-use building into Sola’s newest salon.

Located in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, the 5,580 square foot salon contains 28 independent studios, employee break room, men’s and women’s bathrooms, and lobby with an artic white colored stone accent wall. The salon’s modern aesthetic blends seamlessly with the unique decors for each of the stylists’ private studio. The crisp, bright hallways—which are a 180 from the previous dark, wooden interior—feature ceilings made of galvanized corrugated panels, which add to its clean, minimalist look.

In addition to Milwaukee’s Third Ward location, Hoffman has also developed new Sola Salon Studios in Appleton, Oshkosh, and Wausau.

Prospera Credit Union in Wisconsin partnered with Hoffman on the planning, design, and construction of their new 4,300 square foot branch in Grand Chute.

The new, one-story facility offers a full range of branch services and amenities for members, such as multiple teller stations, interactive Teller Machines, and a 24-hour drive-up ATM. The building also includes both open and closed offices, lobby, two teller stations, three consultation (conference) rooms, a manager station, bathrooms, and an employee break room.

The design of the branch features two “front doors”, a quick-stop ATM canopy, and a modern blend of architecture showcasing the Prospera brand.

Prospera’s new branch—located near the Fox River Mall in Appleton—will allow them to deliver their brand promise of personal, financial guidance to prosperity as well as round out their footprint in the Fox Valley.

Having acquired a vacated restaurant property at a highly desirable location, Parker John’s BBQ & Pizza turned to Hoffman to help them bring their next restaurant to the Green Bay market.

Hoffman provided both design and construction services for the project, which was a major remodel and transformation of a former Italian restaurant. A significant amount of work was required as Parker John’s prepares and serves their food in a very different way than the previous restaurant. Additionally, with a completely new brand taking over, a total renovation of the décor was necessary.

Hoffman began design work in late December in order to be ready for the one-month construction window that would begin in February. Once construction began, numerous hidden code issues were uncovered that required more work than first planned. However, collaborating closely with Parker John’s, Hoffman was able to work through the issues, coordinate several “on-the-fly” changes, and deliver an enhanced restaurant space that will serve Parker John’s well into the future.

Lincoln Contractors Supply, Inc. (LCS)—a contractor equipment supplier that specializes in the sales and rental of construction equipment—selected Hoffman to provide planning, design, and construction services for two new facilities in Weston, Wisconsin. The buildings replaced LCS’ previous single Weston location. The project included an 18,000 square foot service and sales center and a 16,000 square foot equipment storage facility. Having outgrown their previous space, the new facilities will provide the yard storage space needed for equipment, and will house all LCS employees.

Beginning a new chapter in the company's storied history, Wisconsin-based U.S. Venture, Inc. partnered with Hoffman on the planning, design, and construction of its new, 21st century corporate headquarters. U.S. Venture's primary goal for the 59,000 square foot office building was to bring together multiple business divisions previously located at several sites while keeping its headquarters in the community. Just as important, the three-story facility was to be designed and built using green principles and practices and be a model of sustainability for company Associates, visitors, and the community. While the building’s design and construction utilized numerous sustainable features, a significant highlight is the use of over 20,000 square feet of reclaimed materials from various Wisconsin facilities. This effort contributed to the building’s striking design and helped reduce the impact on virgin materials.

Lake Park Sportzone in Menasha, Wisconsin, partnered with Hoffman on the planning, design, and construction of their 32,000 square foot sports complex. The largest indoor, all-hardwood sports facility in northeast Wisconsin, Lake Park Sportzone contains six volleyball courts, three full-sized high school basketball courts, a cafe and concession area, rental spaces, and offices. The facility, which focuses on basketball, volleyball, and Futsal (a form of indoor soccer), boasts 30 foot ceilings and six 72" television scoreboards. It hosts tournaments, league events, camps, and practices for athletes of all ages from across northeast Wisconsin.

Looking to revitalize a once-proud facility and create a full-service business hotel for Northeast Wisconsin, Oshkosh Investors, LLC selected Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. to renovate the former City Center Hotel in Oshkosh. The eight-story hotel, whose interior was completely renovated, features 176 deluxe guestrooms including three executive and five whirlpool/fireplace suites as well as state-of-the-art meeting and banquet facilities; a fitness center; swimming pool and hot tub; lobby and office spaces; outdoor patio with capacity for 100; and a full-menu restaurant, the Ground Round at River’s Edge. The year-long renovation required the replacement of all heating and air conditioning piping/ductwork, boilers, and chillers, a new roof membrane, and elevator renovations in the 131,000 square foot hotel.

The Best Western Premier Waterfront Hotel is located near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus and the EAA AirVenture Museum.

In an effort to enhance customer service and response time, Wisconsin Public Service Corporate (WPS) made plans to build a new service center in Rhinelander, Wisconsin—replacing two existing buildings located across town from each other. Hoffman’s extensive experience in sustainable design and project delivery was a primary reason WPS selected the firm to design the 76,000 square foot facility, which earned LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The facility, which contains office space, a vehicle service area and storage, and warehousing space for equipment, allowed WPS to consolidate under one roof tasks previously completed in multiple buildings at different sites. Additionally, the service center was designed to offer WPS daily operating efficiencies, an outstanding work environment, and long-term operational cost savings.

Preparing to bring employees from multiple locations together under one roof, Bemis Company, Inc. selected Hoffman to perform a complete interior renovation of their Bemis North America facility. The project touched all spaces on all levels of the three-story building and was completed in several phases as the building remained occupied during construction. 
The renovation featured all new finishes—paint, flooring, and ceiling—in all common spaces, offices, conference rooms, corridors, and restrooms. All open-office cubicle areas were reconfigured with new and existing furniture and enclosed offices, conference rooms, and lounge areas were added. Primary and satellite kitchenettes, employee dining rooms, and vending areas were created and new windows were installed.

Bemis Company, Inc. selected Hoffman to provide planning, design, and construction management services for its $25 million facility expansion project in Oshkosh. The 160,000 sq. ft. project involved renovating two existing facilities on the Bemis Healthcare Packaging Oshkosh campus and constructing a 107,000 sq. ft. warehouse addition that combines the buildings into one.
The facility addition provides Bemis with increased warehouse space and feature a high-bay storage and racking system to hold raw goods and finished product. New offices were added to the existing warehouse as well as employee locker rooms and a state-of-the-art employee training center.
Highlights of the project’s design include the addition of a tour corridor that runs throughout all three facilities and allows clients to view the package manufacturing process, a more efficient lighting plan for the entire facility, and significant performance improvements to the clean rooms (that ensure a sterile environment during the production process), which help reduce energy costs.
The project doubled the size of Bemis’ healthcare packaging operations in Oshkosh and provides Bemis with a high-performance facility that will help them remain leaders in the global healthcare packaging market.

Hoffman's innovative Total Project Management delivery process was critical in creating the five-story, 61,000 square foot CopperLeaf Boutique Hotel. Designed to “fit in” with other downtown Appleton, Wisconsin buildings, the hotel contains 73 suites and rooms—including 12 whirlpool and 20 fireplace suites—three business conference/boardrooms, whirlpool and fitness center, full-service spa, breakfast lounge, lobby bar, and restaurant. The area’s first high-end “boutique concept” hotel, located within walking distance to a 400-room convention hotel, shopping area, and the city’s Performing Arts Center, the facility’s design needed to “feel like home” and include high-end amenities.

Eager to end the inefficiencies of operating two locations performing different functions, Valley Cooperative Association (VCA) enlisted Hoffman's assistance in developing a responsible business solution that would better serve both them and their customers. Realizing the ideal solution was having all functions under one roof, VCA looked to Hoffman to lead the expansion of their Greenville, Wisconsin facility, making it spacious enough to house all employees and functions. The office and warehouse expansion and remodeling, totaling over 48,000 square feet, included the addition of mixed-use office space, a mezzanine, and a dry storage area, as well as an expansion of the existing loading dock. The expansion and remodeling has created a desirable work environment and helped improve daily communication and efficiencies for VCA employees.

Although the existing Fox West YMCA facility in Greenville, Wisconsin offered numerous amenities, Fox West administration set in motion plans to expand the physical fitness opportunities and services made available to the community. Searching for a company that could offer Total Project Management as well as a valuable business solution to meet their needs, the YMCA looked down the road to Hoffman to handle all aspects of their 24,590 square foot project. The centerpiece was the pool addition, which has a four-lane lap section, general use area, and a splash tank (one fully prepped for a future waterslide and staircase addition). The project also included the remodeling of existing locker rooms and the addition of a newly expanded Lifestyle Center, multi-program space, and increased parking lot.

The first commercial building in Wisconsin to receive the Energy Star® Label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy for excellence in energy performance, Greenville Center was envisioned as a laboratory for green architecture. This 36,000 square foot office building—designed and built by Hoffman—was the former corporate headquarters for Hoffman and is currently the home to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation. The building features extensive use of local and regional materials with high levels of recycled content and paints and carpets with low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The Cool Daylighting approach used makes use of natural light and reduces the need for electric lighting. The combination of daylight, low VOC materials and finishes, and a carefully designed ventilation system result in exceptional indoor environmental quality. Greenville Center has been the recipient of the Daylighting Champion Award from Wisconsin Focus on Energy, as well as the Friends of the Environment Award from the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.
