OSKALOOSA — Musco today held an open house and ribbon cutting with its team and key construction partners to preview the 74,000 square-foot office renovation and expansion at the Oskaloosa Downtown Campus. It’s expected to fully open in early August and underscores Musco’s dedication to the team, the community, and a shared future.
“We’ve been fortunate to call Oskaloosa home for nearly 50 years,” said Musco CEO Jeff Rogers. “This renovation and expansion contribute to a healthy environment for our team and supports future opportunities. I’d like to thank our founders and principal owners, Joe Crookham and Myron Gordin, for their vision and leadership to make this possible.”
Musco’s dedicated team worked with SVPA Architects, Neumann Construction, Garden & Associates, Delong Construction, and the City of Oskaloosa to bring the expansion and remodel to life. The ribbon cutting today was held in the same location as the groundbreaking on September 8, 2023.
The expansion provides opportunities for connection and learning, as well as space to welcome our customers and partners. It includes additional workspace for the team, plenty of conference rooms and collaboration areas, a greenhouse, and a coffee bar.
The centerpiece of the new entrance is a five-foot LED globe, which features photos and videos of people, projects, and partnerships that make a difference in communities in more than 135 countries around the world. A hometown field experience, reminiscent of a football field, includes a demo of Musco lighting solutions and retired seats from Wrigley Field. Several displays throughout the building highlight partnerships, Musco’s commitment to youth sports, innovations and evolutions in lighting, and projects and community involvement throughout the years.
The improvements also feature outdoor spaces including a green roof and connectors to the other Musco buildings on the downtown campus. A skywalk over 2nd Avenue West connects the expansion to a 424-space parking garage.
This multi-million-dollar project marks the company’s largest investment in facilities to date. The business continues to refresh and expand workspaces including an office remodel in Muscatine. Musco will also be breaking ground this fall on a new 30,000 square-foot facility for product development and testing to be located at 601 1st Avenue West in Oskaloosa.
