2023-2025LEGO Manufacturing - Richmond
LEGO’s first North American based manufacturing plant. Sitting at 1.7 million SF and a final budget of $1.5 Billion dollars, this project is set to reach LEED Silver and produce all LEGO products for North America
My Role:
Provided architectural support on LEGO’s first manufacturing plant, contributing to construction documents under the guidance of senior architects and project leadership. Played a significant role in the production of architectural drawings, drafting more than 50 plan and section details that addressed complex operational, structural, and building system requirements typical of large‑scale industrial facilities.
Coordinated closely with structural and MEP consultants to integrate architectural intent with highly technical systems, ensuring consistency across disciplines and resolving design conflicts. Contributed to a comprehensive Value Engineering effort by assisting with design revisions and documentation updates that aligned cost efficiencies with performance, durability, and long‑term operational goals.
Supported the implementation of applicable building codes, life safety requirements, and accessibility standards, while also responding to LEGO’s elevated expectations for employee privacy, security, and well‑being.
