Second Harvest is one of the region’s largest food banks, carrying out a mission to end hunger by providing food access, advocacy, education, and disaster response. YKH assisted in converting the space to include a new entry lobby, a conditioned warehouse, a board room, administrative and staff offices, a food prep and industrial cooking space, a working vegetable and fruit garden, and several communal spaces for employee congregation and socialization. Our team replaced the existing light fixtures, conducted photometric calculations for optimal illumination, and strategically located all receptacles and outlets in descreet, low traffic areas. We incorporated a new subpanel to accommo-date the increased power requirements, and supplemented additional wiring for power and audio/video systems.
