195,976 SQUARE FEET
Esterly, Schneider has worked with governments and municipalities throughout Southwest Missouri. Projects include the City of Battlefield’s Community Center and Police Department, the Transportation Management Center (the City of Springfield’s first U.S. Green Building Council’s certified LEED Gold building), and the Heer’s Car Park at the Southeast corner of Olive and Campbell.
In conjunction with The City of Springfield and MoDOT, Esterly, Schneider designed Heer’s Car Park. At 195,976 square feet, it is a 375 space vehicular parking garage on five levels of parking deck. Two levels were deisgned to connect directly back to the Heer’s Tower by a glass sky walk.
The prestressed, precast parking garage is anchored on both ends by vertical stairways with a clear anodized aluminum storefront system and a blue glass façade. The corner of the parking garage is emphasized by a massive column cover that is also made with a clear anodized finish and extends to the top of the last deck at the street intersection. The curved roofs at the top of the stairways create a focus back to the car park and complete the tall vertical towers.

108,000,000 MEMBERS
According to the Credit Union National Association, 33.5% of Americans are members of a Credit Union. That is equal to 108,200,000 members! One of those Credit Unions in Southwest Missouri is BluCurrent Credit Union. BluCurrent boasts a membership of 20,613 as of April 30, 2017 and continues to grow substantially every year.
Our Firm had the privilege to design the BluCurrent Operations Center at Sunset and Kansas to assist in the facilitation of their strong growth. The addition to their existing location centralized the administrative offices, allowing for better access to its services by Credit Union members.
The addition also included offices for the Management/Administration, Lending Services, Member Services, Support Services, Accounting Service, Marketing Services, Training Services and Information Systems along with incorporating a new board room, large training room and several conference rooms.
26,000 STUDENTS

In 2016, 26,000 students enrolled at Missouri State, and these individuals are the future for our community. We are grateful to be a small part of making their experience in higher education something that will benefit them and those whose lives they will impact over the years to come.

The first floor has a pharmacy, full imaging suite, including state of the art MRI, CT & X-Ray Equipment and also includes a convenient care clinic.

OVER THE EDGE
On Saturday, June 3, Thom Lundberg, one of the firm’s partners, will be participating in Over the Edge – rappelling off the top of the Sky Eleven Building in Downtown Springfield to support the Child Advocacy Center (CAC). 90 individuals will be making the drop for the CAC, which provides investigative services for child abuse victims and works collectively toward the treatment and prosecution of each case.
Over the Edge “is a once-in-a-lifetime rappelling experience that will benefit the Child Advocacy Center. On June 3, 2017, (CAC is) partnering with Canadian-based adventure company, “Over the Edge.” Participants will fundraise in exchange for the opportunity to rappel the Sky Eleven building in downtown Springfield. Over the Edge handles the technical aspects of the event while the CAC manages all other aspects of the day, all to raise money on behalf of child abuse victims in southwest and south central Missouri”.
In 2016, the Child Advocacy Center saw over 1,400 children who were suspected victims of child abuse. Through the work of investigators, staff, law enforcement, and volunteers, the CAC strives to meet its mission of placing the needs of the child first in the investigation of abuse.
The CAC has offices in Springfield and West Plains, MO, directly serving 16 counties in Southwest Missouri.

216 DRIVE THROUGH LANES
Beginning in the early 1950’s, our Firm began working with Financial Institutions across the Ozarks to help create innovative designs to serve their customers in the most effective and efficient ways possible. The first bank the Firm designed was Union National Bank, which was located on the Southeast corner of Park Central Square in Downtown Springfield.

Since that time, we have worked with numerous institutions across the region and continue to help build the future of banks and credit unions across the region. We did the math, and over the past 20 years alone, we have built approximately 216 drive through lanes for financial institutions.
Here are some photos from our work over the recent years. For more information and additional projects, please visit our portfolio section (www.esterlyschneider.com/portfolio/financial).
