Project Description:
Working in partnership with Ericsson, Haskell delivered the 304,000-square-foot Ericsson 5G Factory of the Future, transforming an existing warehouse in Lewisville, Texas, into a highly automated manufacturing facility supporting the production of next-generation telecommunications equipment. The project includes Class 8 cleanroom manufacturing environments, a fully automated warehouse, a command center and a two-story office space designed to support innovation and operational excellence.
One of the project's defining challenges was an aggressive schedule requiring initial production capability within three months of mobilization. Through an integrated design-build approach, the project team implemented phased occupancy strategies that allowed manufacturing operations to begin while construction continued in other portions of the facility. This approach enabled Ericsson to accelerate production readiness while maintaining project quality and performance objectives.
The conversion required extensive structural modifications, utility infrastructure upgrades and specialized mechanical systems to support advanced manufacturing processes and environmental controls. By leveraging early collaboration among the owner, designers, builders and trade partners, the team successfully delivered a highly complex facility capable of supporting the next generation of wireless communications technology.
Sustainability was also a key project objective. Energy-efficient building systems, water conservation measures and responsible material management practices contributed to the facility achieving LEED Gold and Carbon Neutral certification, an uncommon accomplishment for a large-scale suburban manufacturing facility.
Today, the facility serves as a showcase for advanced manufacturing and demonstrates how design-build delivery can help owners accelerate speed-to-market, maximize existing assets and create flexible environments that support rapidly evolving technologies.
