Iredell Department of Social Services <br />Statesville, North Carolina I Iredell County <br />Owner: Joel Mashburn I Number: 704 - 878 -3050 <br />"The firm's attention to detail, planning, and communication with Iredell <br />County was probably the best I have seen in my years in the construction field." <br />- James J. Vernon, Director of Support Services, Iredell County <br />:1 <br />Iredell County needed a new facility that would unite all staff, from <br />three locations, in one building, thus providing a one - stop -shop <br />for persons requiring public assistance and increasing department <br />efficiency. The design, a two -story building with 190 finished <br />offices, includes space for future office upfit. The first floor has most <br />of the Income Maintenance divisions, as these receive the most <br />traffic. They include Food Stamps, Children's Medicaid, Adoption, <br />Adult Services, and Adult Blind and Disabled Services. The second <br />floor has most of the Social Services divisions. These include <br />Family Support and Resource Teams, Daycare, and Work First. The <br />administration staff offices are also located on the second floor. <br />There is a plaza area at the back of the building for use by building <br />occupants. The site is graded to allow for future installation of park <br />benches and picnic tables overlooking the detention pond, which <br />was reconstructed to allow for future development. <br />There are 90 client parking spaces in front of the building with a <br />covered drop -off area at the main entry. There are 246 staff parking <br />spaces just north of the building in a separate lot. The public entry <br />onto the site will be controlled by a traffic signal. <br />The Department of Social Services Building was built on the north <br />quadrant of a 23 -acre, L- shaped site. Future phases of work may <br />include a maintenance building and an office building. <br />
