Add office space without losing floor area. Free layout and quote." lang: en --- Image: Two-Story Modular Offices in a Louisville, Kentucky industrial facility (https://louisvillemodularoffices.com/assets/project-office-two-story-BxpLCojA.jpg) # Two-Story Modular Offices in Louisville, KY In a distribution building with 32 to 40 feet of clear height, the air above a single-story office is wasted. A two-story modular office uses it, putting a second level of conditioned rooms over the first without taking another square foot of pick or storage area. Operators in Shepherdsville, at River Ridge Commerce Center, and around the airport use them to keep management, HR, and training upstairs while the ground floor handles shipping and dispatch. Call (888) 697-6368: (888) 697-6368 ## Made for Greater Louisville's High-Clear Buildings The newer distribution buildings in Shepherdsville, at River Ridge in Jeffersonville, and around Louisville Muhlenberg Field have the height for two levels with room to spare. We measure from the floor to the lowest light, duct, or rack beam before setting the upper floor height. E-commerce and parcel operations near UPS Worldport tend to add headcount in waves. A second floor adds office space without moving racking or narrowing an aisle, and the upper level can often be planned now and finished later.

Or start from the home page (https://louisvillemodularoffices.com/). ## What Holds Up the Second Floor The upper level sits on a structural steel deck carried by columns and the lower office frame. Deck load is engineered for how the room will be used, whether that means desks and files or a busy training room. People reach the top by an interior or exterior stair with handrails and landings. We place the stair so foot traffic stays clear of forklift aisles and dock doors, which matters on a floor running more than one shift. Heat rises. In a building with no air-conditioning, the upper floor sits in the hottest air all summer and still needs heat in winter. Each level gets its own HVAC zone so the second floor stays as comfortable as the first.
