Sprouts Farmers Market in Chandler, Arizona, required a particularly unique design to fit the architecture within a new, upscale shopping center. The new 28,806-square-foot store serves customers with a full grocery retail experience.
The open sales floor HVAC consisted of rooftop units with the supply ductwork connected together, ringing the sales floor. The return air was drawn through a false wall plenum and drawn under the refrigerated cases. The food service area consisted of a Type I hood for the rotisserie and combitherm ovens and a Type II hood for the bakery proofing ovens. The vestibule and dock doors were fitted with air curtains.
The plumbing systems consisted of a separate grease waste system, exterior grease interceptor, and a combination waste and vent system for the refrigerated sales floor cases. The food service area was plumbed with a typical hot water recirculation system.
The electrical systems consisted of lighting for general interior, sales floor, specialty, and exterior applications, including lighting controls throughout the facility. The power and systems were designed to serve general-purpose, sales floor, deli and refrigeration loads. Load calculations were included for the service and panelboards.
