BMW Manufacturing turned to Context Design Group, PLLC to design the expansion for Plant 10.1 along Highway 101 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. The existing truck gate consisted of a security check point with Two Truck Lanes In & Out. The expansion consisted of increasing both In & Out Lanes to Five for a total of Ten Lanes with an additional truck drive-on weight scale lane on the incoming side. BMW asked CDG to develop multiple concepts to be considered for this expansion.  Various aesthetic options (8) were evaluated to create an image consistent with BMW Corporate Style. CDG developed an option that could be constructed off-site in modules to help streamline construction activities and minimize construction timing conflicts due to operational requirements of BMW to keep the Truck Gate Open 24/7.
