By
2003 ROOMS TO GO had grown to the point where a new, larger distribution center
was required to support the needs of the country's fastest growing furniture store
chain. They hired Horton, Harley & Carter, Inc. as the architect and Bob Moore
Construction as the general contractor for this major project. A year later, the
result is an amazing 851,000 SF distribution center / office building in Arlington,
Texas.
"It's hard to really appreciate the size of this building," said Bill Colello, Senior Project Manager for ROOMS TO GO. "You need to see the aerial photograph to truly get a perspective on just how big it is!"
With almost 15 football fields of interior floor space, the facility houses massive, five-level shelving units to efficiently organize and store millions of dollars in inventory. Circling the facility are 126 separate loading bays, allowing warehouse employees to load dozens of orders onto 18-wheelers simultaneously.
Construction Facts:
- The 6" concrete floor was poured in 32 individual pours, and the entire slab was water cured.
- The building's walls are comprised of 194 separate concrete tilt-up wall panels.
- Each tilt-up panel weighs 50,000 to 93,000 pounds.
- The roof is a 4-ply un-ballasted Johns Manville system.
- The property's irrigation system is fed mainly from rain water collected from the 19.5 acre roof, making the new facility friendly to the environment and the local neighborhood.
- Over 300 skilled workers worked on this project.
