The design-build team guided Garmin through an extensive master plan analysis weighing factors including cost, scheduling, site limitations and disruption to current operations. Garmin opted for a significant overhaul to the manufacturing and distribution needs and built a 750,000 horizontal custom designed facility.

ISO 9001-certified clean room manufacturing space was added to provide creative and flexible setting for engineering teams and upgraded automation allows for capacity needs. Its custom design provides maximized ability to address the ever-changing market.
