Interior Lunch Room Perspective

Modularity benefits of pre-manufactured structural elements, and a building sized to allow for future expansion, this design separates interior office staff from exterior plant personnel to help minimize cleaning/reduce wear and tear on the structure.  Access for exterior persons is controlled through the design configuration, yet allows office/plant personnel to collaborate as required to optimize the plant functions.  In design 2009-10.
