Dayton Mini Storage

Dayton Mini Storage is a large-scale climate-controlled storage development located in Osseo, Minnesota.

The facility was designed using a hybrid structural system combining a central rigid-frame steel structure with cold-formed storage buildings extending from both sides.

The center structure houses elevator shafts, HVAC equipment, and interior climate-controlled corridors serving the surrounding storage units.

This design maximizes storage density while maintaining climate control efficiency and long-term structural performance.

The project utilizes a hybrid steel building system to optimize structural performance and construction efficiency.

A rigid frame steel building forms the central structural spine of the facility, supporting elevator systems, rooftop mechanical equipment, and the primary circulation corridors.

Cold-formed steel storage buildings extend outward from the central structure, creating a highly efficient unit layout while maintaining structural independence.

This approach reduces structural steel costs while allowing large interior spans where required for building services and mechanical systems.
