The expansion of the SF-Marin Food Bank’s San Francisco headquarters adds 31,000 sf to the existing 1997 facility, including new warehouse space, a 5200-sf cooler, a street-level welcome center, and expanded offices above. It optimizes logistical capacity in the form of new loading docks accessed via a ring road, added warehouse staging, and high-density racking systems. The new airy, daylit offices for staff dignify the important work they do. In addition to increasing capacity and resolving complex logistics to maximize efficiency, the project showcases the message of the Food Bank and creates a welcoming public hub in an increasingly mixed-use neighborhood.
