To embody the bank’s ethos of “Where Business is Personal,” CCD crafted the headquarters of First Commercial Bank with a focus on elevated customer service. The interconnected layout forms a “superhighway” linking different banking divisions, featuring custom semi-circular Concierge and Customer Service Agent stations that warmly welcome clients for a personalized experience. In the lobby, seating areas, a touch-down beverage bar, and digital screens enhance client comfort. Visual dynamism is introduced through a serpentine wall, complementing the modern, airy ambiance achieved through design elements like industrial metal, concrete tile flooring, organic colorful rugs, and architectural glass walls.
The ASC Expansion and Renovation of Mississippi Sports Medicine project occurred just a few years after the completion of the original project. The patient load increased nearly double after the main building was built, and the Owner wanted to expand patient capacity. The project includes a parking lot expansion of over 100 parking spaces, expanding the surgical suite with 4 additional Operating Rooms for a total of 12, and 4 additional Procedure Rooms for a total of 7.
The Retail Center in Meridian ia a 15,000 square foot development featuring six tenant bays, bookended by restaurant spaces. The restaurant at the west end boasts a convenient drive-thru window, while the east end’s double-bay restaurant includes a covered outdoor dining patio. The building’s exterior showcases primarily stucco walls in an array of colors and textures, strategically chosen to provide depth and variation along the facades. Subtle pops of bright colors adorn the storefront entrances, serving as eye-catching elements to attract the attention of shoppers and create a dynamic and inviting atmosphere.
The project consists of 29 science labs located in 7 high schools throughout the city of Jackson. Renovations consist of painting walls, replacing flooring, replacing ceilings, repairing and replacing selective lab stations and cabinets, replacing selected fume hoods, replacing existing light fixtures with LED fixtures and repairing portions of selective utilities. Two of the seven high schools are listed on the Historical Register of Historic Places which required separate review and design.
Chemistry Labs renovations include finishes, student workstations, teacher station, work surfaces and selective storage areas including fume hood replacements and related mechanical modifications.
Biology Flex Space renovations include removal of non-functioning student stations, finishes, installation of perimeter sinks, work surfaces and cabinets to accommodate different class types: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, etc.
Typical interior finishes include walls painted with scrubbable paint finish and new VCT flooring with 6” high rubber base. Acoustical ceiling tile, appropriate for science lab environments with scrubbable finish, was installed with the ceiling grid in selected rooms.
The B.B. King Memorial Garden stands as an outdoor plaza structure, serving as a sacred resting place for the public to pay respects to the legendary bluesman. Located just east of the B.B. King Museum, the square structure is adorned with steel cables and wood slats, reminiscent of his guitar’s strings and frets. Metal panels engraved with B.B.’s lyrics are interwoven into the structure, creating a captivating play of shadows during the day and a strategically lit glow at night. The project also included expanding the museum to showcase B.B.’s tour bus and some of his prized cars.
In the role of principal architect, CCD collaborated with museum planners and exhibit designers Gallagher & Associates to bring this project to fruition.
Chosen by the Mississippi Bureau of Building Grounds and Real Property, CCD collaborated with Alcorn State University on a comprehensive ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) improvement project covering the entire Lorman Campus. The initial assessment and identification of ADA deficiencies spanned 16 buildings, and, in partnership with the university and state agency, CCD developed a project scope that adheres to a constrained budget. Encompassing 30 restrooms, parking lots, paths to buildings, entrances, interior circulation, exterior ramps, and elevators, the project enhances equal accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
The replacement fire station focuses on providing a supportive environment for the fire crew. The primary living space includes the kitchen, dining, lounge and day room lit by a linear window high on the wall. The station is composed of a steel structure with CMU/Brick exterior walls and bituminous roof system. The exterior wall system around the truck bays utilize translucent wall panels to enhance interior lighting levels of the truck bays providing optimum lighting and conserving energy. The remaining lighting systems are LED throughout.
The facility features housing for 10 firemen in semi-private rooms, a full featured kitchen with pantry space for 3 different shifts, a hardened training area that also serves as a safe area for the crews during bad weather, a generator to provide back-up power allowing for continuous operations during disasters.
The facility also incorporates space for weight training, laundry, PPE sanitization, PPE lockers, and an area to perform minor maintenance on their equipment.
CCD is pleased to be a part of a new Mission Housing cabin, a joint project between World Gospel Outreach and Pinelake Church, located in a remote area outside of Belmopan, Belize.
Once competed, the cabin will serve as a central housing unit for volunteers to stay while ministering to and serving the people in the surrounding area.
CCD designed the 2,000 SF building which contains a living area with kitchen and 5 private bedrooms.
Construction is currently underway and being built by local craftsmen and volunteers from Pinelake Church out of locally grown native woods.
CCD worked with the Wise Carter law firm and Speed Commercial Real Estate to create an office for Wise Carter’s future. Long-time tenants in the historic Heritage Building, Wise Carter’s needs were analyzed and plans were created for improvements. At the 6th floor, the reception area was enlarged and a convenient conference room was created adjacent. The 2 story central atrium was recognized as a strong asset and was opened to the reception and staff work areas. Clean details and high ceilings improve the quality of the atrium. New interior finishes, lighting and furniture complement the space. A new conference center on the 1st floor provides meeting space for staff and clients.
Canizaro Cawthon Davis collaborated with Jackson Academy to update a comprehensive campus plan, building upon their longstanding relationship that spans nearly three decades. The update aimed to assess the current academic, athletic, facility, and cultural needs of the school. The plan establishes functional and aesthetic objectives for the campus while outlining a strategic phasing sequence to facilitate effective implementation.
Key components of the plan include the addition of a new upper school, middle school, and student center, coupled with the renovation and expansion of existing facilities such as the lower school, preschool, athletic center, performing arts center, and parking areas. This collaborative project involved working in association with Hord Coplan Macht, and it reflects Canizaro Cawthon Davis’s ability to process input, foster consensus, and create a positive campus spirit, as noted by Cliff Kling, the former president of Jackson Academy.
“…Canizaro Cawthon Davis has a unique ability to process and incorporate input and then to create a healthy spirit if consensus…”
– Cliff Kling, Former President
