In-plant offices for Minneapolis plants and warehouses

Twin Cities plants often need an office that stays warm in a cool warehouse; insulated panels and a properly sized heater keep it comfortable all winter.

Start with our modular in-plant offices page, or go straight to a standard size: 8 x 8, 8 x 10, 10 x 10, 10 x 12, 12 x 12, 12 x 16 feet.

Winter notes for Minneapolis

Minnesota winters are long and severe, with temperatures that regularly drop well below zero and heavy snow. Exterior buildings and booths need thicker insulation, heat sized for the coldest days and a roof sized for the site’s snow load. Factory construction avoids winter weather delays.

See wall panels and insulation options and HVAC options.

  • Insulation: choose a thicker panel package for exterior buildings and booths.
  • Heat: size heating for the coldest mornings and the glass area.
  • Snow: confirm roof snow load and keep doors away from drift areas.
  • Clean rooms: define the class and temperature limits early so HVAC handles winter air.
