SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT: Chang Tuh’s new building at its existing facility in Salem will be used for production of heat-and-serve food products. The steel-frame building with metal-panel cladding will hold offices, a break room, shipping and receiving areas, production space, and freezer and cooler rooms. Interior spaces are designed to meet FDA/USDA requirements for food safety, including washable walls, floors and ceilings, trench and floor drains, and walkable ceilings. Livermore Architecture & Engineering developed the architectural and structural design and also acted as the design manager for MEP, civil and landscape work. The site presented challenges due to its small size, access easements and utility connections. Through creative thinking and negotiation with the local jurisdiction, Livermore developed a design that maximizes the building area, considers vehicle access, and meets owner and jurisdiction requirements such as minimum parking stalls, fire vehicle access, accessibility, and space for landscaping and stormwater. An existing production building and associated loading area further placed constraints on the site layout. The available space also was limited by an existing main gas line, power line, and access easements. This new facility will allow Chang Tuh to increase its production and add jobs.
