Walmart Breaks Ground on Fulfillment Center in Georgia

BRR team members attended the groundbreaking of Walmart’s next-generation fulfillment center in Carnesville, Georgia, on Nov. 2. The approximately 1.5 million-square-foot facility will be Walmart’s sixth next-generation fulfillment center in the U.S.

The facilities’ automated retrieval system doubles storage capacity, holding up to twice as many unique items as a traditional fulfillment center. The project is expected to bring 1,000 full-time jobs to north Georgia and expand Walmart’s same-day and next-day shipping capabilities.

BRR Architecture is the architect of record on the project and has served as architect of record on numerous Walmart next-generation fulfillment centers. Learn more about BRR’s industrial experience here.
