Break Rooms & Conference Rooms in Chicago, IL
A modular break room or conference room gives every shift a quiet, heated place to eat, train, and meet without leaving the building.
Food plants and manufacturers in Melrose Park, Northlake, and Bedford Park run around the clock, and the night shift deserves a room as good as the day shift's.
Break Rooms for Multi-Shift Food and Manufacturing Plants
Food and beverage processing is one of the largest industries in the region, and many of those plants run two or three shifts. In buildings along North Avenue in Melrose Park and Northlake, or near the Clearing Yard in Bedford Park, the break room is where people recover between long stretches on the line.
These rooms are specified differently from a supervisor office. We use heavier wall cores and acoustic ceiling tile to cut plant noise, and size HVAC for a room full of people instead of one or two.
Cold winters drive a lot of this. A break area that is just a corner of a lightly heated warehouse is miserable in January, especially near the docks. An insulated room with its own heat changes how the shift feels, and it helps when you are trying to keep good people.
Sinks, vending, refrigerators, and microwaves get planned into the drawing, along with the circuits they draw. Conference and training rooms get data pathways, wall blocking for displays, and glass where you want visibility.
The room goes up on the floor you have and can grow or move as headcount changes. For a stacked lunch room above an office, see two-story modular offices.
