A freestanding production assembly hall is situated in the northeast corner of the factory grounds complimenting the two other existing halls. Located to the rear of the site with little public access it is a simple elegant three level work hall. Delivery can be made from both ends while offices and conference rooms reside in a mezzanine. From these spaces orientation and views to the double-height work hall is provided only an open gangway. This primary space is articulated into 2 25-meter bays with cranes. The steel-framed roof is skylit by a horizontal band of translucent channel glass. This cap structure rests on a column grid of concrete pre-cast columns. The exterior cladding is of pre-cast concrete panels and metal siding.
