Shipping / Receiving Renovation

DESIGN: With a limited budget, the old welding lab was transformed into an open, high bay space with room for deliveries, rolling file storage, mail distribution equipment, and staff work stations. Offices and a break room are provided for staff. In addition, the college Information Technology (IT) department accepts deliveries in the facility and has a workshop for assembling hardware and imaging computers prior to distribution across campus. A material lift services two mezzanine levels, allowing for secure storage for two distinct programs.

SUSTAINABILITY: The campus achieved significant cost savings by adapting the old welding shop and reusing the envelope. Modernized mechanical and electrical systems: 1) Reduce short and long-term maintenance costs; 2) Create energy cost savings; 3) Increase energy efficiency; and 4) Provide a facility that serves the GRC campus decades into the future.
