How Square Roots is meeting unprecedented post-pandemic demand for fresh, healthy, locally-grown food.

Check out our newly completed Square Roots project at Gordon Food Service, Wyoming, Michigan. This is yet another innovative urban farm project with ViaChicago Architects, using containers, indoor seed-to-sales, high-tech farms built in urban areas around the US, bringing local produce to its area year-round.
📣🌱
We’re amazed how much produce can grow in a matter of 28 days. We were thrilled with the delicious micro greens and herbs that these projects produce and the thriving community around them. The projects consist of 10 containers stacked on top of each other with a 3,600 sq. ft. front building, mezzanine, seed nursery, nutrients storage, office, wash stations, coolers and shipping.

Grandville Office Expansion

Posted by: Dan Vos Construction Company | Oct, 23rd

Project: Van Dyken Mechanical Office

Our office renovation for Van Dyken Mechanical was a transformation of the former office space and a conversion of adjacent warehouse into a streamlined HQ. Interior finishes flow smoothly throughout the newly created spaces. Cafe and collaboration areas offer a cool factor with quartz, blackened steel counters and unique color schemes lighting up mechanical work. The exterior received an extensive face lift, while gaining light through glass entries and clerestory windows.

In order to continue uninterrupted operations, our team completed areas in phases and gradually moved employees into available spaces. 🙌

Project: Gordon Food Service Inc.

The 50th Street freezer facility site is located in proximity to other Gordon Food Service distribution centers.
