In-Plant Modular Office Housing a Control Room, QA Laboratory & Lunchroom
Imagine trying to fit a control room, a quality assurance lab, and a lunch area into a limited space. It’s a challenge many businesses face, especially in industries where every square foot counts. But what if you could build up instead of out, just like the towering skyscrapers of Tokyo or New York?
St Croix Tissue approached us with this exact dilemma. They needed three distinct areas but couldn’t afford to sprawl horizontally. Our solution? A 2-story in-plant modular office that maximizes vertical space while providing the 3 separate areas as required: a modern control room, a QA laboratory for tissue quality testing, and a peaceful lunchroom that offers employees a quiet retreat from the factory noise.
Our modular panels are the LEGOs of the industrial world – versatile building blocks that can be stacked, expanded, and customized to create the perfect space for your needs. But MECART’s in-plant offices offer more than just flexibility; they’re engineered with comfort and productivity in mind.
But comfort extends beyond just having a comfortable chair. It’s about creating an environment where focus comes naturally and productivity thrives. The in-plant office includes:
- A custom HVAC system at its heart, ensuring ideal temperature control and excellent air quality throughout the space
- Ergonomic design for better workflows and improved communication
- Integrated utilities: All the required utilities such as plumbing, electricity, and telecommunication are integrated inside the modular panels
- Custom integrated lighting system: Improved visibility and reduced eye strain
This combination of features creates a workspace that not only meets your specific needs but also promotes employee well-being and efficiency. By incorporating soundproofing, we can take employee focus and productivity to the next level.

Keeping Employees Safe, Comfortable & Productive with Custom Acoustic Modular In-Plant Offices
As St Croix Tissue prioritizes safety within its company, it recognizes the importance of providing a secure environment for the employees who drive its operational success.
In their factory, machinery generates noise levels that can cause irreversible hearing damage with prolonged exposure. To protect operators, MECART designed and built their industrial in-plant office using our STC 45 soundproof panels.
Our panels are engineered effectively to reduce noise levels to well below the threshold considered dangerous for human hearing.
Designed with employee safety and productivity in mind, this in-plant modular office features:
- Superior Soundproofing: Our 4-inch steel panels provide exceptional noise reduction, protecting employees from hearing damage and improving concentration.
- Expansive acoustic windows: The windows offer great visibility over the operations with no compromise on acoustics
- Premium acoustic doors: Our acoustic doors are designed for industrial settings, providing premium soundproofing and durability
