The Franklin Special District (FSD) in Franklin, Tenn., recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 38,400-square-foot Central Office facility, according to a news release. The district partnered with Wold Architects and Engineers to create an administrative space designed to boost productivity, collaboration, and employee wellness. The two-story building will unite most district personnel beneath one roof.

The space will include amenities like a 2,800-square-foot assembly space with AV technology, a wellness area, an open-air courtyard, and loading and storage spaces. The project also included renovating an existing building into the 12,400-square-foot FSD Facilities and Transportation Center. The space features administrative offices, a meeting area, drivers’ lounge, maintenance space and equipment, and storage space.

“At Wold, our ultimate mission is to support the communities in which we live, work and play, and we could not be more grateful for our ongoing partnership with Franklin Special District that allows us to design spaces that bring this vision to life,” said Wold Architects & Engineers Principal Steve Griffin. “This new office blends modern functionality with timeless design, creating a space that not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also reflects Franklin’s rich architectural heritage. Seeing this project complete is incredibly rewarding, and we’re proud to support a district that values innovation, community and staff well-being.”

FSD also partnered with Nabholz for construction management services, according to the news release.
