This 44,000-square-foot facility became a focal point in Dubuque as the first facility to open in the Dubuque Industrial Center South.

When the growth of Tri-State Quality Metals pushed its facility to the limit, the midwestern metal fabricator called on the architects and engineers at Origin Design to design an administrative complex and manufacturing facility.

project overview

Origin Design led the design and construction of the 40,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing area and 4,000-square-foot office, where the company provides laser cutting, bending, saw cutting, welding, and the powder coating of metal products.

In addition to common offices, meeting room and administrative amenities, the facility also features a functional floor plan optimizing the LEAN process in order for the owner to provide high quality manufacturing products at a very competitive price.

The move to this facility allowed Tri-State Quality Metals to add 20 jobs and increase its footprint in the Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Origin Design's Land Survey team recently assisted with The Key Hotel site. We presented various options for modifying the parking lot, ultimately reconfiguring it for better flow in and out of the project site. An interim design was also created to support operations until full funding is secured for complete reconstruction.
