Project Goal:
Worldwide Dispensers, formerly Formative Engineering Corporation, was operating out of an insufficient 10,000 square foot building that was
too small for its needs. With a new facility, the owner wanted to avoid the standard “box with
a stripe around it” appearance of most manufacturing buildings. The owner also wanted an
interior that was extremely clean and uncluttered, unlike most manufacturing plants, where pipes
are mounted wherever convenient, resulting in an cluttered look that collects dirt.
Outcome:
The solution is a new 23,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing plant. The exterior
geometry visually reduces the mass of the building while suggesting the repetitive nature of
the manufacturing process. The client’s vision was of a manufacturing floor so clean and orderly it
could be glassed in and used as a showpiece. In fact, the backdrop for the conference room
is a large window looking onto the manufacturing floor. All utilities that
serve the plant are run in an underfloor trench or dropped on a framework overhead, eliminating the need to mount anything on
the walls. The clean, crisp environment focuses all attention on the manufacturing process.
