In terms of physical size, this project is one of the largest warehouse buildings Green Building Design have undertaken. Covering an area of over 400,000 square feet, this 17m high building has been fitted out as a Regional Distribution Centre for a major toy retailer.
The project involved the fitout of this building from its original shell and core condition to a functioning warehouse and distribution centre. In terms of services, this involved the installation of a new direct gas fired heating system, a new busbar fed lighting system at roof level, a separate lighting system in the 6m high ‘tunnels’ distributing along the building and a new sprinkler system to protect the building and stored goods. A new fire alarm system was installed along with a new PA and data system to provide smooth running of the distribution centre.
Green Building Design was employed by the main contractor to design the major services to the distribution centre which was completed within 6 months of us starting our design. Since we started this project, we have also been employed on store projects for the same client team.
