This design-build project consisted of designing a new manufacturing facility for Tropical Products, a private-label formulator, manufacturer and bottler of personal care, pet care, and home product lines for regional and national brands. The scope of the project entailed construction of a 100,000 SF single-story, bi-level building. The lower level of the facility features production lines, warehouse storage, and a four-bay loading dock. The upper-level features office space, storage, locker rooms, and break room/meeting space. As the architect for this project, Connolly's team designed the building façade to have a clean, modern look by utilizing a combination of storefront glazing and aluminum paneling at the entryway and an envelope of high efficiency insulated metal wall panels and concrete masonry units.
