Cargill

Designed and Built for Cargill, this project is a 72,280 total square foot cold storage and meat processing facility with a research and development component.

This 72,280 SF cold storage and meat processing facility was designed with a USDA certification and a dedicated research and development component. The facility features a two-story, 41,470 SF office space, including labs and a 2,330 SF culinary kitchen for product development. The specialized areas include a 3,050 SF pathogen lab, a 1,430 SF chemistry lab, and an 880 SF micro lab, all aimed at ensuring quality control and food safety.

The cold storage component includes a 3,000 SF 38°F cool dock, a 2,500 SF 38°F cooler, and a 1,600 SF 0°F freezer for proper storage of meat products. The facility's 10,790 SF processing plant is designed with wash-down capabilities and houses dedicated spaces such as a raw meat conditioning room, a ready-to-eat preparation and packaging room, a smoke generator room, a meat tenderness room, and a fryer room.

Additional support areas include a 2,400 SF maintenance shop and a 60 mil white TPO roof system for durability and energy efficiency. This facility is built to handle both high-volume meat processing and research, ensuring product quality and innovation at every step.
