Turner Fleischer, as the architects who control the standards for all Loblaw distribution facilities, designed this massive 1,175,000 sf distribution centre, with warehousing, as the prototype for nation-wide introduction. With its impressive scale and complex variety of program needs, this distribution center is the test site for all the future similar facilities in the client’s network.
A complex building, with many stakeholders and needs, the final structure includes multi-temperature refrigerated areas, office facilities and loading docks. The completion of the center also required careful coordination of the multi-disciplinary engineering team with the Loblaw Clients Group.
