            Dunkin Donuts Mid-Atlantic Distribution Center


            Owner/User: Dunkin Donuts
            Location: Swedesboro, New Jersey

            Design Statement: Bernardon provided architectural and
            interior design services, as well as coordination of structural
            engineering, for this 125,000 SF office and distribution facil-
            ity, which includes cooler and freezer areas as well as ambient
            storage and 12,400 SF of office space.

            Tilt-up concrete was used for construction of the exterior
            wall panels to satisfy both budget and scheduling criteria.
            Panels are a maximum of 40 feet high and are 7 1/4” thick,
            maximizing the efficiency of the concrete.  The use of tilt-up
            enabled the entrance facade of the office area to be curved,
            high-lighting the building’s entrance and providing a coun-
            terpoint to the rectangular mass of the building.  Forms were
            used to provide a “dished” surface upon which to pour the
            curved panels.  The result is a very striking design that cre-
            ates a strong image for the user.
