Built in the later 1980's, the building has experienced upgrades including the lobby, new construction area, customer service, Information Technology, data center and Accounting area and most recently the upstairs remodel. In 2012, the District embarked on a lighting upgrade project. The upgrade consisted of retrofitting existing fixtures to high efficiency LED lights in the District's Administrative Building and outside overhead lights in the parking lots. However, due to the complexity of the warehouse, the upgrade retrofit needed design and was not included. 3.

In order to provide a lighting design to optimize the warehouse functionality and distribution, the current florescent lighting needs to be replaced to enhance the lighting in the warehouse. The current design has lighting going diagonally across the warehouse, thus lighting is lost due to the shelving units.
