Owner: Kroger
Architect: Perkowitz + Ruth Architects
Location: North Ogden, Utah
Size: 123,677 square feet
Wadman Corporation constructed a new 123,000-square-foot store that offers more than supermarket items. At twice the size of a normal Smith’s supermarket, it has more than 200,000 products in one location, including food, apparel, housewares, household decor, hardware and a gardening center. Aside from providing a larger selection, Smith’s also wanted to make improvements in the energy efficiency for the new building by implementing the newest technologies in cooling, water and lighting design. Light sensors on the roof and inside the store determine the need for overhead lighting, automatically turning off overhead lights when the skylights provide adequate natural light. Motion sensors in the fridges and freezers dim the LED lights when they go without use for an extended period of time.
