Industrial/Warehouse building design must take into account the functional needs of the future occupant of the facility. For these clients, the Architects at RBA design to achieve the most efficient utilization of space while providing adequate circulation paths for personnel and machinery. We understand that well laid out circulation spaces are crucial to the safety and well being of building occupants as well as increasing overall productivity. Physical and operational requirements of industrial/ warehouse space types vary and can include vertical storage, picking alternatives, material handling equipment and software, fabricating, manufacturing, and the repair or processing of materials. Other critical components of industrial/warehouse facilities are to properly design and plan for loads created by stored materials, handling and assembly. Loading docks, utility requirements, and office space are also carefully planned for and incorporated into the design for maximum functionality of the complex. The Architects at RBA know that it is essential for the proper integration of the many features of this type of building as the building design directly impacts the effectiveness of daily operations.
