The Utah Bishop’s Central Storehouse includes an office, storehouse, transportation maintenance facility, tire storage facility and fire pump house. The office and storehouse building is a two-story, steel structure with curtain wall housing offices, conference rooms, shipping offices, dispatch offices, breakrooms, forklift changing stations, bulk storage rack areas, and freezer/cooler/cold dock space.
Transportation & Fleet Services
Deseret Transportation operates nearly 50 tractors and 100 trailers to distribute goods to LDS Church meetinghouses throughout most parts of North America. This facility serves as a base for the fleet and includes a maintenance facility and fueling station.
Freezer & Cold Dock
This facility includes nearly 63,000 SF of space, which is kept at 22 degrees (f) to preserve perishable goods. Dehumidifiers keep the air free of water so there is no ice buildup on the racks, equipment or food. The refrigerated area is separated from the other parts of the warehouse by fast-moving, insulated doors which open and close as forklifts approach.
Administrative Offices
Attached and centrally integrated into the warehouse is a two-story office complex with facilities for training, meetings and managing day-to day operations. It includes a large kitchen and break room, locker rooms and beautiful lobby. Parts of the second level overlook the warehouse floor in two directions, to allow monitoring of operations.
