CCD, in collaboration with Eley Associates Architects, undertook the design, construction documents, interior design, and construction administration for the expansion and renovation of the J.D. Williams Library at the University of Mississippi. The new addition on the west side of the original library reflects the traditional Neo-Classical architecture of the Ole Miss campus and accommodates a new entry, stacks, and reading rooms. Simultaneously, the original library underwent renovations to ensure its functionality well into the future, incorporating code improvements and beginning necessary repairs to the exterior walls and roof. The phased approach ensured continuous operation during construction.
The corner of Pearl and State Streets is one of the gateways into Jackson’s central business district. This project is designed to provide new class A office space and parking and add a welcoming presence to Jackson’s skyline. The building is designed with 8,900 SF of retail at the street level, wrapping 4 levels of parking. The office floors provide an efficient floor plate for tenants, with a total of 162,500 SF for office use.
Canizaro Cawthon Davis worked with Duckworth Realty to redevelop a site adjacent to Jackson’s City Hall and Hind County’s Courthouse. These buildings form the edges of an urban square. Congressional Place provides class A office space and parking while reinforcing the existing urban environment. An efficient plan allows 5 levels of parking with 97,000 SF of class A office space above. The corners of the building which face the square are offset, which increases the number of prime offices. Retail space occupies the ground floor and gives life to the street. The architecture is influenced by the historic courthouse opposite the square, combining Art Moderne and contemporary motifs.
This office building meets the strict architectural guidelines of Madison, MS, while maximizing rentable space with an efficient floor plan. Large windows enhance office layouts and provide views to the landscape.
Relocating to a mixed-use development allowed Young Wells to reimagine their workspace, blending traditional elements with a contemporary touch. Cherry paneling and millwork, granite flooring, and sleek, energy-efficient light fixtures harmonize with wood slat acoustical ceilings and textured glass. Offices feature side lites for borrowed light, and conference spaces use obscure glass, providing both natural light and outdoor views. The furniture promotes comfort, technology support, and a relaxed atmosphere. In the open administrative work area, variable heights in both systems furniture workstations and the ceiling add interest and volume.
College Hill MB Church stands as a historic cornerstone in west Jackson, playing a vital role in the local community. Despite space constraints on their existing site, the church chose to remain and support the neighborhood. Collaborating closely with CCD, the church embarked on a transformative journey, replacing the old sanctuary with a new one and adding classrooms. The architectural design seamlessly integrates into the traditional scale of nearby houses, featuring a distinctive bell tower at the street corner. Preserving the church’s heritage, the existing stained glass windows are artfully incorporated, and a welcome center with expansive windows opens the front entrance to the community.
CCD worked with New Vision Fellowship to create a welcoming space for church members, their families, and visitors to meet and share their faith in an informal setting. In the light-filled Welcome Commons, church members can engage with each other before and after a church service. The Welcome Commons also provides an alternative to the existing Fellowship Hall for church functions.
The Oaks House Museum, also known as the Boyd House, stands as one of Jackson’s oldest residences, once home to Mayor James Boyd, his wife Eliza Ellis Boyd, and their family. Preserving the circa 1853 Oaks House, its collection, and grounds, the museum vividly portrays the mid-19th-century urban farmstead life of a middle-class family. Collaborating with The Colonial Dames of America and the Oaks House Museum Corporation, Canizaro Cawthon Davis adeptly designed a new media presentation room within a 20th-century addition. The project also included the integration of a handicapped accessible toilet and a small office, alongside a concealed fire sprinkler system to safeguard the historic building. To minimize impact on the historic structure, the work was discreetly incorporated into secondary spaces.
