Nissan Manufacturing Facility

nissan LLC Manufacturing plant new 3

Nissan’s Smyrna manufacturing plant and distribution center supports inbound production parts and outbound returnable containers, thereby streamlining the manufacturing supply chain.

LJC designed this 1.5-million SF manufacturing plant and logistics center for Nissan North America. The facility is located in Smyrna, Tennessee, just south of the auto manufacturer’s main campus. Due to underlying rock, Clayco, the design-builder, had to perform extensive blasting to level the site, consisting of 77 acres of heavily wooded, undeveloped land.

The plant includes more than 500,000 SF for manufacturing operations, 1 million SF for warehouse and distribution purposes and 60,000 SF of office space. Building features include a 32-foot clearance, a central chiller plant, a medium voltage substation, 168 dock positions, an overhead bridge crane, and a cross-dock configuration. Energy-efficient and sustainable design features include fluorescent lighting, concrete paving, a white reflective roof, a central chiller plant, and building systems controls.
