AVB partnered with FlavorSum on a 32,400 square foot addition to their occupied facility. The addition features a 29,000 square foot Hazardous Material Warehouse, a 500 square foot Research and Development Lab, a 1,000 square foot Washdown Area, and a 1,900 square foot Low Flash Production area. Additionally, we added a 1,000 square foot Cold Storage Warehouse into their existing facility.
To accomplish this intricate project, AVB was required to tie the addition into 3 different locations within the existing building while maintaining complete separation between construction and food production activities. Additionally, due to the nature of work at FlavorSum, specialized alcohol detection systems were required to be installed within the new warehouse and low flash production area for occupant safety. AVB used a phased turnover approach to ensure safety and comfortability of occupants. Each addition required the use of different building material types, so the phased approach allowed appropriate lead times for all materials. This all took place within an aggressive timeline while design continued to evolve.
