This project consisted of two additions to an existing fabrication facility located in a professional office corridor on the northern edge of the City of Frederick. The rear of the building (production facility) is visible from US Route 15, a highly traveled highway, and therefore, needed to be attractive in its utilitarian nature. The front of the building provides the primary presentation as an office building along Thomas Johnson Drive. Total addition area was approximately 50,000 square feet, including two floors of office area. The entire site plan needed to be upgraded to modern stormwater management standards, and new underground storage piping installed below the expanded parking lot.

The original building was built in the mid-80's, specifically designed to house the Equipment Development Corporation, a company which manufactures pavement and sidewalk saws and grinders, and masonry saws. Over the past decade, the export portion of the business increased, and the spare parts inventory increased due to the creation of new and improved equipment.

The expansion needed to be carefully integrated into the flow of production to allow it to proceed uninterrupted during the construction of the addition/alteration. New equipment was inserted into the addition, and the existing equipment was relocated as spaces were completed, wired, heated and ventilated. Finally, existing spaces were renovated and backfilled with other production and assembly functions.
