Project Type: Industrial

Avid Solutions, a fast-growing engineering consulting firm specializing in industrial automation and information solutions has been providing industrial solutions across the United States and globally for more than 30 years. In 2014, Workplace Architecture + Design completed a detailed programming exercise with the client- confirming the need for expansion.

With a new site location selected, the design team dived right into constructing a new 20,000 SF state-of-the-art facility that would accommodate their growing workforce. The place includes a 4,000 SF workshop and two Developer Labs allowing for on-site fabrication and testing. Workplace Architecture + Design also managed full furniture specifications and procurement, and integrated custom branding graphics enhancing the company’s cultural environment and wayfinding.

Workplace A+D was proud to work on another project with BE Aerospace  (now Collins Aerospace) Co-located with Boeing’s largest production facility and assembly operations, this new flexible-cell manufacturing and engineering site brought together multiple divisions of BE Aerospace including galleys, emergency oxygen systems and lavatories. Using planning guidelines and standards previously developed by Workplace A+D, this facility includes a 65,000 SF office area for 375 engineers and division management, as well as work areas though the production and assembly areas .A unique challenge on this project was the use of high-bay space for the office environment, with delivery of power and data from upper trusses with custom-designed overhead grid system. Semi enclosed spaces in the open plan for managers and conference rooms were designed for flexibility even with the challenge of local seismic codes.
