Network Appliance

Description:
Network Appliance, Inc. is a world leader in unified storage solutions that simplify data management for major corporations.  Mission Bell’s Tony Gonzales was brought in early to work with Gensler to develop ways to build the creative design ideas Gensler is known for.  Early engagement provided a good way for Network Appliance and Gensler to get the cutting edge design statements they desired, built and installed in a way that optimizes materials and schedule efficiency for Devcon and Mission Bell.  The end product is something everyone is proud of.

Mission Bell teamed to remodel the previous Executive Briefing Center and Cafeteria, as well as to help create the new Executive Briefing Center.  In addition to supplying custom plastic laminate cabinetry, we have had a part in many unique aspects of these projects.  For example, in the new Executive Briefing Center in addition to beautiful Quarter Figured Anigre cabinet doors that match the furniture, there are some complex doors that are 7’x 6’ tall, and quietly slip into the ceiling or descend for unobtrusive serving and clean-up of food in the conference room.

Throughout the facility everything is custom designed and built with great attention to detail.  From the wedge shaped couch to the 3 custom spinning display screens, Mission Bell led the coordination with specialty sub-contractors that certainly make this one flashy Executive Briefing Center.
