Industrial
BRR is well-versed in completing complex industrial and fulfillment projects for our clients. Our industrial team recognizes that fulfillment and warehouse projects require extensive attention to detail, and they may require ASRS systems or other technologies to efficiently fill the needs of their customers.
Our resume includes projects such as new distribution/fulfillment centers to the renovation or expansion of existing facilities. We’ve worked with a variety of clients from large, national retailers to grocers and manufacturers on elevating the employee experience inside these facilities and also leveraging design to bring them up to date.

Our Approach to Industrial Projects
We work with industrial owners from around the country to improve operations and achieve long-term success through an up-to-date facility. We address every industrial facility separately, learning the needs of both the owner and the employee, and implementing designs that fully address them.
We Explore What's Possible
+ Is it possible for the building to support a new ASRS system?
+ What will the building codes allow?
+ Will the technology chosen require updated security features at the site?
+ What new amenities can we bring to the building?
+ What is the walkability for the employee?
+ Are there opportunities to add daylight to the production floor?
+ Is it possible to expand?
+ Is it possible to build vertically?
+ What materials can we choose to extend the building’s life?
+ Are there ways to support Net Zero mandates?

Innovating Industrial Building Design
Our design team continues to push design concepts beyond the traditional ‘white box’ design of a warehouse. The team engaged in an exercise to apply knowledge from working in other sectors, to apply elevated design standards to the warehouse. The result; three distinct concepts for three distinct regions which appeal to contextual architectural design and the overall employee experience.
Exploring the Urban Warehouse
Is it now possible to move fulfillment centers inside the urban core? BRR recently facilitated a company-wide exploration of this idea with an in-house design charrette where teammates uncovered creative ways to bring this concept to life.
Project
Walmart Fulfillment Center
With BRR’s long-standing relationship with Walmart, our team was selected as the architect of record for the company’s next-generation fulfillment center located outside of Chicago, IL. This technology-focused fulfillment center is the first of four planned for Walmart as the brand strives to reach more customers with next-day or two-day shipping.
Project
Walmart Distribution Center
For the remodel of this distribution center, BRR was asked to introduce new design concepts and brand initiatives into the facility. This space is also being used to test design options for the possibility to incorporate aspects into other locations.
Project
Lowe's Direct Fulfillment Center
Lowe’s new Direct Fulfillment Center, located a half hour outside of Nashville, covers more than 1 million square feet, and was established with the goal of increasing the efficiency of shipping parcel packages directly to Lowe’s customers and stores nationwide.
