Autonomous Vehicle Garage
Ford Autonomous Vehicle Garage – An existing Ford property formally used as furniture storage was renovated to house up to 100 autonomous vehicles. The nearly 60,000 SF warehouse was renovated to include a 10,000 SF office with training space, an IT/Server room, cafeteria and open office, and a heated & ventilated 50,000 SF garage.
The garage was transformed into a parking and data retrieval area for the autonomous vehicles. The newly renovated garage included Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and Fire Protection upgrades. All of this work took place between November of 2016 to March 2017, as the space was urgently needed.
