Marian, Inc.

Office / Lab | Pre-engineered Building | 2026 ABC Award Nominee

Project

Overview

This project consists of a 60,775 square foot manufacturing facility addition constructed to expand operational capacity and provide supplemental storage to support ongoing production demands. The addition is designed with a 32-foot low eave height, allowing for efficient manufacturing workflows, improved material handling, and optimized vertical storage. The new structure is seamlessly integrated with the existing facility to maintain operational continuity while enabling future growth.

A key component of the design is the intentional flexibility of the space. The building is configured to allow approximately half of the addition to be partitioned for potential lease to a third-party tenant. This configuration includes a secure, shared dock area that accommodates both the primary occupant and a future tenant while maintaining controlled access and operational separation. This approach provides long-term adaptability and an opportunity for revenue generation without compromising core manufacturing operations.

The addition includes new employee and operational support spaces, such as restrooms, a break room, and a conference room, enhancing functionality and employee comfort. A dedicated shipping office is incorporated to support logistics coordination and outbound operations. The facility is equipped with four loading docks to efficiently handle truck traffic, as well as one on-grade overhead door to accommodate oversized deliveries and flexible material movement.

Overall, the project significantly enhances manufacturing capacity, improves logistical efficiency, and provides a versatile facility layout designed to support both current operational needs and future business opportunities.

Safety

First

Our team completed specialized training in concrete forms and finishing, LM80 layout, liner panels, and the installation of siding, insulation, and doors. During steel erection at Marion Manufacturing, additional aviation safety protocols were followed, including strict crane height and positioning limits due to the project’s proximity to an active runway, ensuring full compliance with air traffic safety requirements.

Built For

Performance

The facility was designed with long-term performance and adaptability in mind. A flexible building configuration allows up to half of the space to be efficiently separated for a future third-party tenant, while a strategically planned shared dock maintains secure access and clear operational boundaries. This approach delivers both immediate functionality and future revenue potential without disrupting core manufacturing operations. The connector building further enhances performance, engineered to manage complex load conditions created by the integration of the new Butler pre-engineered metal building with the existing structure.

Partnership

In Action

The project required flexibility because construction began before every interior layout decision was finalized. To protect the schedule, we advanced the shell, coordinated critical path items, and preserved options for interior build-out while design decisions continued. This approach allowed the owner to respond to changing operational needs without losing momentum in the field. Quality control depended on consistent coordination between the building addition, the existing facility, the new connector building, dock operations, and future tenant separation requirements.
