Columbus IGA : bauer group architects

The facility is set up to provide another 10-15 years of effective operations for the IGA Plus in Columbus, MT. The facility is set up to maintain status with the large national chains that are entering into the area and consists of: a new main entrance, break room and employee facilities, offices, a new pharmacy, additional retail space and a new shipping and receiving area as well as mechanical space. The mechanical systems of the facility are being updated to current levels to optimize the energy sharing of the refrigeration equipment and heating equipment required for a facility such as this. The street in front of the facility was vacated with permission of the city to provide a safe parking and circulation area for this facility. The new facility is located next to the City Hall and other major downtown businesses in Columbus.
