Construction has always been built on grit, long days, early mornings, and pushing through.
Power Design has never been interested in doing things the way they’ve always been done, and our approach to wellness is no exception. For over a decade, we’ve invested in building a culture where our team can train, compete, and grow together, whether they’re on the GRID or out bringing buildings to life in the field.
From stretch routines and safety-driven training on jobsites to on-campus fitness and wellness resources, our focus has always been on supporting the whole person – an evolution led by our Wellness Manager, Shelly Scamardo, who took a leap from Tampa General Hospital ten years ago after seeing the vision firsthand.
Backed by leadership that believes in doing things differently, that vision has continued to grow. Now, we’re taking it even further with the expansion of our wellness space and the addition of a dedicated recovery center designed to support the whole person – physically, mentally, and long-term. Because high performance doesn’t just come from pushing harder, it comes from recovering smarter.
One of the biggest barriers to wellness is access. So we removed it.
With more ways than ever to train, recover, and recharge – alongside ongoing resources like biometric screenings, mammograms, dermatology visits, and more – Power Design is making it easier for team members to prioritize their health, with no extra time, and no added hassle. Leaders are even empowered with monthly wellness budgets to invest directly in their teams, because taking care of people shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Behind the scenes, this space wasn’t designed to just look good – it was built to work on you.
Every detail was grounded in human-centered, research-backed design, rooted in environmental psychology and biophilic principles that influence how people feel, move, and recover. From the moment you walk in, the goal is simple: create an immediate shift.
Even elements that might seem subtle, like the removal of harsh contrasts, the use of deep blue tones instead of black, or the semi-private recovery areas, are rooted in psychology. It’s not just a wellness space, but an environment designed to support how people actually function.
This isn’t only an upgrade, it’s a shift in how the construction industry thinks about its people. For too long, the expectation has been to push through, ignore the aches, skip the doctor, grab another energy drink, and keep going.
At Power Design, we’re changing that by investing in recovery, education, and accessibility to help build careers that last longer, feel better, and perform at a higher level.
The future of construction isn’t just about what we build, it’s about who we build it with and how we take care of them along the way.
