Project Triathlon Logistics Facility

This fully automated warehouse at SEGRO East Midlands Gateway Logistics Park was designed for an occupier DHL and their business partner to provide a highly efficient distribution hub to serve the Midlands and surrounding area.

The distribution centre incorporates state of the art automation and advanced distribution management systems on multiple mezzanine levels while also providing high quality office facilities fronting the estate road.

The distribution centre is split into two structures, the high bay that houses a 36m tall racking system with automated cranes and 22m low bay structure that completes the packing and final route to the dock loading bays.

Internally, a large reception and waiting space was designed to create a feature full height arrival entrance to the main office. Floor to ceiling glazing around the first floor of the office provides natural light to surrounding open plan offices and breakout areas.

The prominence of this building, not only in scale but the aspirations of the occupier, provided us with an opportunity to create a bold design that visually integrates the distribution centre with the office capturing the corporate identity of the business.
