This design-assisted collaborative project included three distinct components. The first was a large, climate-controlled structure measuring 200’ long by 60’ wide with a 45’ clear height to enclose a freezer—a "box within a box"—for blood plasma storage at -31°F. The structure used steel framing with non-load-bearing precast panels for the exterior walls. The central section comprised a 35K SF lab and processing area, built with composite steel joists and designed to withstand tornado impact loads. The front section was a two-story, 41K SF steel-framed building serving as the corporate headquarters for the owner's U.S. operations.

The project allowed the owner to consolidate 45 facilities nationwide and bring plasma testing in-house, which they estimated would save $1M per month. A modified structural package approach was used to expedite steel delivery for the project.
