The community food co-op in Bozeman, Mo. has nearly doubled in size with the expansion of its West Main Street facility, undertaken by Hennebery Eddy Architects.
The two-story, 2,137 m2 (23,000 sf) addition includes a commercial kitchen, receiving area, and high-bay storage, as well as offices and a large meeting room. The resulting 3,623 m2 (39,000 sf) building efficiently consolidates all of the co-op’s operations under one roof.
The original facility featured materials such as corrugated metal siding and had an exposed wood structure. The new structure will feature acetylated wood on the second level.
The primary structural building material is made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) sourced from and manufactured within the state. On the sedum rooftop, a solar array produces an estimated 79,200 MJ (22,000 kWh) of energy production annually. A co-generation power system will provide on-site power and uses water heat for electrical generation.
Substantial glazing on the north side provides views to the outdoors and puts food on display for passersby.
