Second Harvest Food Bank

Our team designed renovations and an expansion to Second Harvest Food Bank’s existing facility. The new addition and renovations feature a warehouse expansion accompanied by a new loading dock that provides four functional dock locations, a relocated agency store, and other renovations to improve efficiency. Additionally, the project includes a new lobby and visitor center, a boardroom, and administration offices located on the second floor.
