Project description: Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Co. is building a 400,000-square-foot distribution warehouse as part of a major expansion, estimated to cost over $30 million. The building consolidates staff and operations to a centralized campus, and it replaces warehouse space in the production facility allowing for the expansion of a new bottling line, according to design officials. Products and personnel in the existing facility will connect to the new warehouse through a glass skywalk. The site design works around an existing Jordan Creek waterway that flows through the campus, which will be highlighted by a new outdoor park for employees. Buxton Kubik Dodd Design Collective is the architect and mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer. Anderson Engineering Inc. is the civil and landscape engineer, and Miller Engineering PC is the structural engineer.
