River Bend Food Bank was facing a good problem – they were running out of space for their daily operations!
Our team constructed a 10,000 square foot addition to the existing building to expand office space. We also added a small office within the warehouse to streamline the shipping process. Additionally, a new parking lot was built to accommodate volunteer and employee parking.
The project was carried out in multiple phases to ensure uninterrupted business operations. Firstly, we installed the new parking lot so the old one could be replaced to make room for the office space addition. After completing the addition, the office staff moved into the new space, allowing us to demolish the old office area and create more warehouse and volunteer space.
Notably, the water service for the project had to be adjusted to meet a city requirement for a fire hydrant located on the other side of the railroad tracks. While this modification initially posed a significant cost burden to the owner, our team found an alternative method to install the hydrant, resulting in substantial cost savings.
