Maurer-Stutz, Inc. served as the prime engineering consultant, working with the Construction Manager, Mangieri Companies, Inc., to provide civil and structural engineering design phase services for a 75,000 square foot building to replace Winpak’s previous facility located in Peoria’s industrial district. The new facility was designed to provide a more efficient operation by keeping all processes on one level and providing ample vertical space for the installation and maintenance of equipment.

Structural services for the facility involved the design of rigid steel frames to support the upper roof over 57,000 square feet of factory and warehouse space. A lower structure around two sides of the building housed employee facilities, business offices, and space for additional facility operations. The exterior of the building consisted of precast concrete wall panels for aesthetic appeal on the two sides facing the main entrance; concrete masonry walls were utilized around the other sides of the industrial space for reasons of flexibility for expansion.
