Accord Architecture

Sunny Fresh Foods, a Division of Cargill, contracted with Accord in 2000 to design a new food processing and warehouse facility in Mason City, Iowa. Since the initial construction of this $11 million facility, SFF has added on twice, both times again asking Accord to provide the design. The design concept of this facility is to be functional first, clean in appearance and very, very efficient in the process of food products. Large Insulated cooler and freezer rooms are attached at the rear of the building for temporary storage of both finished and raw products, while a non-insulated warehouse is also attached. Other than the cooler/freezer buildings, the entire facility is enclosed with insulated precast concrete sandwich panels.

This precast concrete structure for Golden Oval Eggs, Inc. in a rural area near Northwood, Iowa was designed by Accord in 1999. Accord worked closely with the Golden Oval Eggs industrial engineers to develop the design of the building to respond to the process of receiving, cleaning, cracking and storing of eggs.

Accord was again hired in 2003 to design additional space for the further processing of eggs.
