SCHAUMBURG VEHICLE MAINTENANCE FACILITY

The operations manager of this industrial facility wanted to maximize the parts storage space by adding to the existing second floor mezzanine and providing elevator access to the mezzanine.  The interior scope of work also included renovating the existing employee locker rooms and an office.  The result was to expand the existing mezzanine, employee locker rooms and a freight elevator.  A portion of the first floor was reconfigured to make room for the freight elevator, eliminate circulation conflicts, and address security issues.  The new renovations provide an efficient floor plan for the daily operations of the Schaumburg maintenance facility.
