The Challenge: Growth over a period of 30 years had created a hodge-podge of tired office spaces scattered throughout the Boring Machine complex. Related HVAC systems were marginally functional and the building was without any ADA compliant bathroom facilities. Funds for needed updates were limited.

The Olson Solution: Olson's design/build team proposed a solution which consolidated office space around a central office/engineering hub. The consolidation of space has in turn opened up a significant amount of production floor allowing for the introduction of new machining centers without adding a single square foot of new space. A once cramped front door vestibule has become a bright, open, inviting entry. Longtime customers have entered the new office area and quickly turned around and exited the building thinking they had walked into the wrong building, a tribute to the success of the design and building team.
