  • A new 90,000 SF high-bay warehouse facility with advanced racking and retrieval systems

  • Sustainable design elements include: photovoltaic array, rainwater collection, locally sourced and recycled building materials, a chilled beam HVAC system, LED lighting systems, skylights for increased interior daylighting, a white roof assembly, and rain gardens for site runoff control
