LEO A DALY has a working relationship with Dollar General and was retained for the design of Dollar General’s 10th distribution center, a design/bid/build project in Bessemer, Alabama. The center, located on 106 acres consists of five new buildings completed in spring 2012. Five separate buildings total approximately 975,000 square feet of new construction. The buildings include a 958,000-SF Dry Storage Warehouse, Administrative Office and Employee Welfare Building, 13,300-SF Dispatch Office/Truck Maintenance Facility, 400-SF Receiving Truck Concourse Guardhouse, 300-SF Shipping Truck Concourse Guardhouse and 1,300-SF Pump House/Fire Protection Reservoir.
LEO A DALY also provided provisions for future expansion of 200,000 SF to the dry storage warehouse. Site work also included auto parking, truck circulation and parking, landscape, storm water detention/retention, perimeter security fencing/gates, site lighting and all site utilities (domestic water, fire loop/hydrants, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, electrical power distribution and duct banks between all buildings). The design explores the relationship of scale through a dialogue between employee and warehouse space. Paths are emphasized; pedestrian paths are accented with vehicular patterns that support product shipping and receiving.
