Nestled on the scenic grounds of a championship golf course, The Abbey at Otter Creek is known for hosting weddings, special events, and exceptional dining experiences. As the venue continued to serve large gatherings, additional refrigerated storage became essential to support food and beverage operations without disrupting the existing layout of the facility.
The challenge wasn’t simply adding more cold storage—it was fitting a Walk-In Cooler into an existing basement with structural constraints. Support beams, limited access, and precise door swing clearances meant every measurement had to be carefully planned before installation. Leer engineered an 8′ x 8′ x 7′ floorless walk-in cooler that maximized the available footprint while working seamlessly within the building’s existing structure. Constructed with High Density Rail panels featuring 4.25-inch polyurethane insulation and durable 26-gauge acrylic-coated, stucco-embossed galvanized steel inside and out, the cooler delivers the long-term performance and efficiency required for a busy commercial venue.
Projects like this demonstrate that every Walk-In doesn’t require new construction. Whether it’s a restaurant, event venue, hotel, country club, or commercial kitchen, Leer can design custom refrigeration solutions around the unique constraints of an existing building. When space is limited or structural obstacles stand in the way, thoughtful engineering and precise planning make it possible to add valuable cold storage without compromising the facility or its operations.
