Built for Production
& Distribution.
Unobstructed clear span space for equipment and racking. Rapid construction that minimizes operational disruption. Natural daylighting or insulation options that reduce energy costs.
Engineered for Operational Performance.
Whether you're expanding production capacity, establishing distribution centers, or integrating material handling systems, manufacturing and warehouse facilities demand specific infrastructure—Clear Span interiors that accommodate equipment movement and racking configurations, structural capacity to support overhead cranes and conveyor systems, construction timelines that minimize revenue loss during expansion, and flexible designs that adapt to changing production or inventory needs.
Legacy's hybrid structures address these requirements through solid I-beam construction proven to support heavy hanging loads, single-source design-build processes that eliminate coordination delays, and customizable configurations from uninsulated natural-light facilities to insulated production environments.
What Type of Manufacturing or Warehouse Building Do You Need?
Enclosed & Uninsulated
Best for: Distribution warehouses, cold storage, parts warehousing, and material handling operations
White cladding admits 12% natural daylight, reducing artificial lighting needs during daytime operations. Solid I-beam steel construction supports overhead cranes, conveyors, and material handling equipment. Steel structure accommodates any exterior wall façade to meet facility design requirements.
Enclosed & Insulated
Best for: Climate-controlled manufacturing, automotive assembly, precision production, and administrative spaces
ExxoTec™ Pro interior liner creates a bright, clean aesthetic suitable for production environments. Steel I-beam framework supports bridge cranes, monorails, and specialized manufacturing equipment. R-30 fiberglass insulation provides thermal performance with airtight vapor barrier for climate-controlled operations.

Solve Your Manufacturing & Warehousing Challenges
Legacy facilities address production and distribution requirements through custom engineering and proven construction processes.

Clear Span Space for Equipment & Racking
Interior columns restrict forklift movement, limit warehouse racking configurations, and create bottlenecks that reduce facility efficiency. Manufacturing operations require unobstructed space for production lines, material flow, and equipment placement.
Clear Span interiors over 300 feet wide provide unrestricted floor space with zero interior obstructions. Straight sidewalls allow racking to extend to exterior walls, maximizing usable square footage. Configure production layouts without navigating structural columns. Accommodate equipment changes or operational expansion without facility modifications.
-
Heavy Equipment Integration
Modern manufacturing and distribution facilities require structural support for overhead bridge cranes, conveyor systems, material handling equipment, and specialized production machinery demanding significant load capacity.
Solid steel I-beam construction provides engineered structural capacity for heavy hanging loads. In-house engineering team designs load calculations specific to your equipment specifications. Proven installations include conveyor systems weighing 250 tons in mining operations, bridge cranes in automotive manufacturing, and material handling equipment in distribution facilities.
-
Construction Timeline Pressure
Extended construction delays mean lost production capacity, delayed inventory expansion, and revenue impact. Traditional construction timelines disrupt operations and postpone ROI realization.
Single-source design-build process eliminates contractor coordination delays and supply chain bottlenecks. All building components manufactured in-house at ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in South Haven, Minnesota. Factory-trained installation crews can work around existing operations to minimize disruption.
-
Energy Performance & Operating Costs
Traditional metal buildings with opaque roofing require extensive artificial lighting during daytime operations, increasing energy consumption and operational costs that accumulate over a facility's lifecycle.
Uninsulated configurations with white cladding allow 12% natural daylight penetration—typically enough for daytime work without artificial lighting. Our cladding’s thermally non-conductive properties naturally moderate temperature compared to metal structures. Insulated configurations with R-30 fiberglass insulation and ExxoTec™ Pro interior liner provide airtight vapor barrier for climate-controlled manufacturing operations.
