Core 22 Design Build designed and constructed the new 37,110 SF Jo-Kell facility. The overall facility is comprised of 15,636 SF of office space, 16,515 SF of warehouse space, and a 4,959 SF mezzanine. The office area consists of a training room, collaboration areas, 12 private offices, and two conference rooms.

A warehouse sales department and mail room are included onsite.

Jo-Kell is an electrical supply and engineering company headquarted in Chesapeake with regional offices in Richmond, Atlanta, San Diego, and Jacksonville, Florida. The company, founded over 40 years ago, began by supplying products for military use and has gradually expanded into the industrial and commercial marine marketplaces, now selling automation products and supplying custom systems for their customers.

As a growing company with an emphasis on their employees (named a 2018 Best Place to Work by Inside Business), Jo-Kell required a larger facility that would help facilitate their rapid growth. They also wanted the new building to align with their strong company culture, making the work as fun as possible while still getting the job done.
