Target Corporation Western Distribution Center

Fontana, California

Owner:
Target Corporation

To support Target's retail store expansion on the West Coast, it needed a West Coast distribution center. The client's goal was to achieve economy of value.

Target chose a phased plan and selected us for architecture and engineering. We designed an L-shaped footprint for future expansion without disrupting operations. The phase I scope included a 642,000-SF warehouse and 30,000-SF office.

The site is near fault lines and a high wind corridor. We designed structural systems to seismic zone four specifications, which allow infrastructure and AS/RS to move and protect merchandise during an earthquake. Our design also included lightweight wall and roof materials to reduce seismic loads. The building was also designed with sufficient lateral protection to support high winds. A series of exiting tunnels were incorporated into the design as a safety measure for employee egress.

We later expanded the facility to 1.4 million SF and designed distribution centers in Arkansas, Colorado and Minnesota.
