Antech Diagnostics Expands Footprint and Enables Future Growth

Antech Diagnostics - Fountain Valley, California

The Challenge
Antech’s original Orange County lab had exceeded capacity with no option to expand the existing building. In 2012, they decided to find a new home. After a two-year search, they found the perfect location—a 77,000-square-foot warehouse centrally located in freeway-friendly Fountain Valley. Yet there was more work needed to fully optimize the space.

 

The Solution
To further expand space and capacity, Charles and team added a 10,000-square-foot mezzanine on the second floor, bringing the total square footage to 87,000. After adding a dynamic two-story entrance, the building now reflected the cutting-edge animal healthcare diagnostic services offered.
