Project Highlights
Architecture
Low masonry starter walls with insulated metal siding were designed above to break up very large wall areas, sloped standing seam roofing, new interior finishes, elevators, large industrial spaces with specialty benches and storage systems, and smaller ancillary storage buildings.
Mechanical
Design included environmental and equipment cooling, central heating and cooling plants, process water, and compressed air systems. Multiple user groups had precise environmental criteria required for their mission. WRA’s design utilized modular subsystems within an integrated building design for maximum flexibility.
