Quonset, RI – TFM Structural Engineers were part of the design-build team with Division 5 Metals, LLC of Amherst, N.H., and led by RKB Architects of Braintree, Mass., in providing design for this new 83,000sf corporate office and manufacturing facility located in the Quonset Business Park.
According to the company’s website, “Edesia is a unique nonprofit organization that manufactures specialized ready-to-use foods that change lives. Each year millions of ‘miracle packets’ leave Edesia’s Rhode Island factory and are delivered into the hands of malnourished children all over the world by humanitarian aid workers working in the hardest-to-reach and most inhospitable places on the planet.”
The new state-of-the-art facility offers more options and flexibility when it comes to transporting product and will help double its production of the peanut-based food, reaching more than 2 million malnourished children each year.
