Lear Corporation

When Lear Corporation, a manufacturer of automotive seating and electrical systems, needed a new manufacturing and office building, they chose to partner with Roebuck Buildings to bring their vision to life. Working alongside Jerry W. Rives Jr., AIA, Roebuck designed a 156,800 sq ft facility, complete with 15,000 sq ft of office space. This sprawling plant features T-5 fluorescent lighting fixtures, generating 75' candles of lighting, as well as diamond-polished floors and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system. The manufacturing area features 28' clear heights throughout, as well as 56’ X 56’ bay spacing.

Roebuck Buildings has had a long-term partnership with Lear Corporation, delivering four building projects since 2009. In addition to the project referenced above, we completed a 170,000 sq ft manufacturing facility built to FEMA storm shelter specs in 2013 in Tuscaloosa, Al, with architect Jerry Rives, Jr., followed by a 75,000 sq ft addition in 2017 with GPN Architecture to house a tall storage racking system on the same campus. Most recently, we did a 94,000 sq ft addition for the Duncan plant with GPN Architecture.
