Spring 2023 Architects & Engineers Project Report: Co-Mo Electric Cooperative renovation and addition

Toth and Associates Inc.

Toth and Associates Inc. is the civil and structural engineer for the $7.5 million renovation and addition to the Co-Mo Electric Cooperative operations facility in Sunrise Beach, an industrial space combined with an office area and hardened spaces components. Officials say open office areas were relocated to the front of the building to maximize natural light, and a break room acts as a transitional space between the garage and offices. A meeting space doubles as a safe room and features company branding on a wall near the building’s entrance. The design blends the existing building and addition under a single roofline. The garage features a Kalwall translucent cutout, which provides natural light into the garage. Officials say the updated design by Sapp Design Associates Architects PC modernizes the industrial space. Additional engineering work, for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, is by RTM Engineering Consultants LLC. The project is expected to be completed in April 2024.
