Expedited occupancy and quality were the main goals for this assembly plant. From the initial meeting to substantial completion, this project was completed within 12 short weeks. The facility includes a 70,000 square foot assembly plant, accommodating 10 loading docks, a 2-storey in-plant office structure with a third floor mezzanine for future expansion.

The single-storey front office is built with painted, load-bearing architectural concrete masonry, pre-finished metal siding parapet, and punched bronze anodized aluminum framed windows.
