BNIM was part of the design team for the BTI John Deere Dealership, a retail and service facility for John Deere products. The facility interior functions include a showroom, storage, service shop and wash bay. Offices are provided as support areas for the retail and service departments. Outdoor sales areas, demonstration areas and large vehicular storage are also included in the facility.

BNIM advised the project team on the design, specifications, process and documentation required to earn the credits necessary to reach the certification level of LEED Platinum.
