Our Solution
SVPA Architects designed a building with the exterior of the structure comprised of a brick module out in front of a precast concrete main structure. A small pond serves as a foreground for the building and doubles as a stormwater detention facility. This project won the Associated Builders and Contractors of Iowa 2001 Award of Excellence for Industrial Construction – $1 Million or Greater. In 2010, an addition of approximately 40,000 SF was needed for additional manufacturing and office space and most recently in 2016, an expansion of 54,385 SF was added to the existing facility, with 38,630 SF constructed to withstand an EF5 tornado.
