SEW-Eurodrive, a global manufacturer and producer of electric gear motors, expanded their U.S. corporate headquarters in South Carolina with two new precast concrete structures, a smart factory and a showroom. The 250,000 ft~2 smart assembly factory has manufacturing and assembly areas for the gear motors. It features a production and assembly area, warehouse space, shipping and receiving zones, and product development laboratories. Open-concept offices, conference rooms, break rooms, and collaboration spaces are located on a second-floor mezzanine overlooking the production area. The double-height lobby is a focal point of the factory building, creating a dramatic entrance to the facility. The lobby also serves as meeting space, exhibition space, and teaching space for customers and employees. It brings in natural light and lends a fresh, clean look to the facility. The building envelope consists of precast concrete wall panels with sandblasted, pigmented, and textured finishes. Wood accents at the entrance create warmth and add character to the large building. To provide continuity and brand identity, the same wood accents are incorporated in the building interior. |
