A New Life
Growing a new brand in a legacy building.
This design-build project consisted of demolishing an existing pre-engineered metal building, office renovations and building additions. To serve the needs of Apotheca’s increasing production, their new facility included an in-house lab equipped with high-tech analytical equipment, such as herbal oil extraction machines. Apartments/suites were also built on the top floor of the two-story office building. The Carroll Daniel team worked alongside a team of engineers to find permitting solutions allowing the residential portion of the office and to guarantee the manufacturing facility met Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.
State-of-the-Art Facility
Constructing a certified GMP and FDA registered building.
Humidity was a pertinent concern due to the requirements of the products manufactured and the special equipment installed. The new production facility had to be airtight and watertight to control humidity inside, resulting in PVC wall panels that could be cleaned without damage, extra measures for HVAC units ensuring low relative humidity, and interior roof drains that did not leak. Apotheca’s new building was a state-of-the-art, certified Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and FDA registered building that provided space for additional production and continuity of operations as their brand continued to grow.
