I'm meeting the challenge of bringing to life an empty shell 100,000 sf concrete tilt-up building, and reformatting it into a state of the art chip fabrication facility. FM Industries, headquartered in Fremont, is expanding its Phoenix footprint to serve major clients on the Pacific rim. The new curtainwall entry facade will welcome a 200 person staff that keep the production lines humming with 3 shifts, 24/7.This project is a natural progression growing organically out of my previous experience of helping to create a 120,000 sf, multi-building, PG&E Regional Service Center.
