The 238,000 square foot expansion of Sysco's freezer, cooler and cold dock--completed in two phases--included design and construction of a prototype refrigerated warehouse that houses a freezer and a cooler, as well as the addition of 33 cold docks to the company's facility.
The first phase included demolition and reconstruction of a maintenance building/fuel island. The second phase included renovations and expansion of the warehouse into a facility that houses operations offices, a break room, bathrooms and lockers, hydrogen fueled equipment storage, lighting, and an updated fire protection system. Additionally, the redesigned facility features 4,000 square feet of photovoltaic panels on the roof.
The first Phase of this project received the General Building Contractors Association’s 2011 Award for Best Commercial Project Over $15 Million.
