Southland Industries’ Manufacturing Facility Completed in Garden Grove

A new Southern California office space and fabrication facility has been completed for Southland Industries in Garden Grove, CA. The mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems firm will take occupancy of the 160,000-square-foot facility at 12131 Western Ave.

Previously dispersed among two buildings, Southland’s new fabrication facility unites employees across departments within a cohesive floorplan. The new layout creates synergy among processes and teams, and provides Southland with the environment to continue to produce industry-leading results.

Carolina Weidler of H. Hendy Associates, which designed the facility, says, “Southland’s new facility seamlessly reflects its holistic approach to building performance, and celebrates the firm’s deep commitment to its people.”

By measuring the number of steps it would take employees to travel to key areas within the facility, Hendy was able to design pathways throughout the floor plan to support optimal navigation patterns. The result is a highly-efficient working environment that promotes productivity, collaboration and quality services and solutions.
