"This new headquarters
signifies our commitment
to maintain a superior
level of customer service
to our existing and
future clients."
– Tim Jackson, Founder,
Jackson Technical
The server rack is a product that Jackson
Technical works with every day and provides a
firm structure, yet allows each piece inside to
be treated individually and to evolve with time.
The building design is meant to reflect technol-
ogy and the work going on inside the building.
One could also draw a metaphor from
the design, that it reflects the corporate cul-
ture of Jackson Technical. The company is
very "non-hierarchical."
The Jacksons believe in allowing their trust-
ed and skilled employees a great deal of individual
freedom. Jackson Technical provides a basic
structure of principles and then allows them to
manage their clients in their own personal man-
ner, similar to the basic server rack structure.
Perhaps Ted Reeds, Senior Associate and
Project Manager at The McIntosh Group, summed
it up best: "When we started putting this design
together with Tim – literally drawn on a beverage
napkin over an after-work meeting – we knew this
would provide a thoughtful and elegant composi-
tion for the overall building, and give Jackson Tech-
nical a memorable identity in Downtown Tulsa."
