SIOUX FALLS AREA DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
It also includes a porch structure with front door and doorbell, café seating, kitchen setup, and a market with a POS system and reach-in cooler, all to practice and improve life skills. A few other non-profit honorable mentions are the Sioux Falls Area Development Foundation , the St. Francis House , The Banquet , and Feeding South Dakota . Koch Hazard Architects designed the original Feeding South Dakota building, which McMahan says is in dire need of expansion to meet the growing need for food as the city grows. The team is starting the design for an expanded parking area, and next on the docket is a warehouse addition and an office rearrangement to better accommodate volunteers. “The organization in Sioux Falls is the base for statewide food provision through mobile distribution centers for thousands of people,” said McMahan. “Our work will help them do their jobs better, benefitting so many in South Dakota. It’s rewarding work because we know their impact will be greater.”
The firm itself is in an exciting phase, filled with a talented and dedicated team. McMahan says she also is invigorated by their location in the Falls Center building at 431 North Phillips Avenue. The area has completely evolved in the 30 years since the building was renovated in 1993 at the north end of Phillips Avenue where it ended at 5th Avenue. “We’ve watched downtown slowly develop creeping (and leap-frogging) north right in front of our second story windows, and it’s continuing in a big way with the Smithfield site,” said McMahan. “I feel we are in the catbird seat now after a lot of years when we were the only building with activity on North Phillips.”
