Other Projects by Cushing Terrell
Girl Scouts of America, Montana and Wyoming
Billings, MT, United States
Not every construction project has a large design budget. Some have virtually no budget at all. But even organizations that rely almost entirely on charitable contributions need modern, well-designed places to carry out their mission-driven work. These projects can have a powerful impact. Take for example the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming (GSMW) headquarters in Billings, Montana.
Housed in a former family home, the Girl Scouts facility functions as a vital hub. It provides operational space for staff and a jumping-off point for programming that brings the girls together and supports the Girl Scouts mission: to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
But the facility wasn’t quite supporting their needs. GSMW serves more than 10,000 girls in Billings and in communities across Montana and Wyoming, and the organization simply needed more room to accommodate their growing regional member base. They also needed space to park a new fleet of vehicles that safely carry Scouts to the educational, entrepreneurship, and outdoor programs that empower them with important life skills — and support the ever-critical annual cookie distribution.
With an opportune sale, GSMW acquired an adjacent property and had the existing home on the property demolished to make room for their facilities expansion. It was at this point, GSMW went seeking building design counsel and reached out to Cushing Terrell for
help with the planning and design of a new parking lot and garage.
In partnership with engineering firm Sanderson Stewart, Cushing Terrell provided the design services to fully execute the expansion on a pro-bono basis. The result: a custom structure that successfully fulfills the operational needs of the organization while maintaining visual alignment with the existing office on-site and acknowledging the high street level visibility of the new structure. Not flashy but streamlined and extremely functional.
“This was a really fun project to be part of,” said Darren Johnson, Cushing Terrell project manager. “It’s exciting to think of the many things these Girl Scouts may accomplish one day; maybe even working on projects just like this one at Cushing Terrell!”
Design is not always about large construction budgets, glamor, and awe. Often, it’s about function, pure and simple — providing places for people to safely gather, form connections, share experiences, and in this case, empowering girls during their key developmental years to learn, explore, grow, and courageously make the world a better place.
