Aldi Foods

(Aldi Corporation)

This grocer uses a consistent entry/exit footprint across thousands of locations worldwide. The design uses four single sliders that are married together and placed at the exterior of a small, single vestibule, then repeated at the interior. The structure provides separate ingress/egress traffic flow without requiring a divided vestibule. The approach supports an energy efficient environment by minimizing loss of temperature, and also maximizes construction space limitations (due to Aldi stores being intentionally smaller than most other grocers.) Part of a national contract between Aldi and Horton Automatics, the project features the Profiler™ Linear Drive Slide Door System. Wisconsin Automatic Door installed and services doors at numerous Aldi locations across Wisconsin and the UP.

 Oconomowoc Corporate Center
Oconomowoc, WI
 
Contractor: CG Schmidt

Design requirements for this new office building specified use of swing doors, yet no exterior wall space was available for mounting of a handicap operator. Wisconsin Automatic Door collaborated with the contractor, CG Schmidt, to ensure the building provided a barrier-free entrance. To comply with ADA requirements, a post was placed within 12 feet of the door to house the handicap operator. It was designed and positioned to ensure optimal functionality without jeopardizing a professional appearance. The door is an Easy Access™ 7000 Low Energy swing door from Horton Automatics.

Wisconsin Automatic Door stocks this door in its own warehouse, making it quickly available to meet requirements for the shifting schedules often faced by construction managers. It can also be manufactured onsite, making it a solid choice for new construction or for retrofitting at an existing building. Beyond this door system, WAD placed 10 handicap-accessible doors at interior and exterior openings of the Oconomowoc Corporate Center.
