Overview
CAT Greensboro Renovation Industrial Architecture + Interior Renovation
This project involves the comprehensive renovation of an existing industrial facility originally built in 1979, located in Greensboro, NC. The scope includes selective demolition, structural modifications, and new architectural and MEP upgrades across multiple functional areas, Business Center, Operations Center, and Warehouses.
The renovation focuses on improving operational efficiency, spatial flow, and workplace comfort through new finishes, reconfigured layouts, and infrastructure modernization. Highlights include new storefront systems, reworked sidewalks, upgraded locker rooms and restrooms, new interior finishes throughout, and an expanded office layout to accommodate field service and coordination spaces.
The exterior scope features new metal panels, canopies, and an electrical fleet charging area with coordinated 20 amp circuits, reinforcing the client's commitment to modern, energy efficient operations. The interior design emphasizes functionality and brand identity through durable materials, natural light integration, and signature yellow accent elements that connect the industrial aesthetic with CAT's corporate image.

Project Details
Existing Industrial Facility and Renovation Scope in Greensboro
The Carolina CAT facility in Greensboro is an existing industrial complex of about 71,870 SF with offices, an operations center and several warehouses. It has no sprinklers and all utilities remain. The renovation covers the Business Center, the Operations Center and Warehouses 1 and 4, with selective demolition, structural modifications and new architectural and MEP work, phased to keep the facility working.
Business Center Storefront and Interior Finishes
In the Business Center the old storefront, offices, restrooms and exterior soffits were removed for a new storefront, reworked sidewalks, a new parts locker on a concrete slab and new signage. Interior finishes include sealed concrete, carpet tile, luxury vinyl tile, ceramic tile, butcher block counters and wall paint in white, CAT yellow, CAT red and a dark gray.
Operations Center and Warehouse Upgrades
The Operations Center gains a Field Service Office and a Shop Supervisor office by enlarging two existing offices, plus new finishes in the seating area and a new HVAC system in the training and equipment storage area. Warehouse 1 receives a renovated breakroom, a new corridor, finished offices and an upgraded locker room. Warehouse 4 loses its wash bay and gets a new overhead door.
Metal Panels, Fleet Charging and Architecture Services in Greensboro
The exterior adds corrugated metal panels in CAT yellow and a dark gray, and a prefabricated aluminum canopy at Warehouse 4 with a concrete pad for electric fleet charging on dedicated 20 amp circuits. Ossa Studio provided code analysis under the 2018 North Carolina Existing Building Code, drawings and a permit package, and construction administration with Barringer Construction, Bennett & Pless, DDQ Engineers and CAGE.
