FCP Case Study: Orange County Food Bank’s Office Upgrade – Garden Grove, CA.

Client Challenge:

When the Orange County Food Bank faced a growing hurdle of scattered workspaces, a solution was urgently needed. Staff were spread across multiple locations—from cramped warehouse offices and converted lunchrooms to external rented spaces. This fragmentation hindered collaboration, teamwork, and the cohesive work culture the Food Bank aspired to nurture

Enter FCP with an innovative and tailored approach. Instead of sacrificing valuable warehouse space or facing the structural limitations of current offices, FCP engineered a custom metal skeleton to expand above the existing offices. This smart, space-efficient solution incorporated an overhang design, effectively doubling the previous office space without impacting the warehouse’s functionality.

Key Results:

Streamlined Implementation: FCP not only constructed the metal skeleton but also introduced reliable contractors to carry the project through to completion.

Enhanced Team Environment: The new centralized office layout fosters collaboration and teamwork, a key objective of the expansion.

Maximized Space: The innovative overhang design doubled office capacity while retaining critical warehouse operations.

Why It Matters

The new office space represents more than added square footage. It reinforces Orange County Food Bank’s ability to work as a unified team, improving coordination and efficiency to better serve their mission of alleviating hunger.

This case study exemplifies how thoughtful design and innovative solutions can empower non-profits, food banks, and organizations with infrastructure challenges.
