The Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden represents a remarkable $100,000,000 redevelopment project that reimagined the gateway to one of St. Louis's most cherished institutions, the 164-year-old Missouri Botanical Garden (MOBOT). This transformative undertaking, executed by TD4 Electrical and Guarantee Electrical, successfully created a 90,000-square-foot visitor center without disrupting MOBOT's daily operations, visitor experience, or the well-being of the precious plants. The project was initiated and funded by private donors, demanding an intense collaboration to meet the challenge of constructing a new visitor center within an accelerated timeline and complex project requirements. The team surpassed expectations, delivering the project on schedule and within budget. 

The project's complexities were amplified by its execution during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring adaptations to the workforce, supply chain, and safety challenges. Guarantee Electrical's work encompassed several intricate tasks, including the upgrading of the north campus electrical infrastructure installation of new wiring to 4,160-volt switchgear without impacting operations, and the installation of a rooftop solar array for sustainable energy production.  

The project showcased innovations like Trimble technology for precision layout, real-time productivity tracking, and just-in-time material delivery, all aligned with Lean Principles. The Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center exemplifies the potential of collaboration and innovation in creating something truly exceptional.
