Amazon’s DII5 Delivery Station redefines the industrial building typology and proves that a logistics facility can be beautifully designed with people and the planet in mind. Located in Elkhart, Indiana, the 171,000 SF facility demonstrates an emerging use case for mass timber and provides a model for future designs for Amazon Logistics.
The project is organized around a series of initiatives aiming to reduce embodied and operational carbon emissions, conserve water, support employee wellbeing, and enhance biodiversity—prioritizing practical solutions that can scale across its operations. It is designed as a proof-of-concept and contributes to Amazon’s decarbonization goals while creating a supportive workplace for its associates and third-party Delivery Service Partners (DSPs).
Wood’s inherent beauty and biophilic properties create a warm and welcoming environment, with careful consideration given to the building’s materiality. Patterns are thoughtfully layered, left raw and exposed to highlight their simplicity, durability, and natural beauty. Dynamic exterior metal paneling adds visual interest to contrast the warmth of the wood.
The all-electric delivery station provides the last-mile connection from Amazon’s fulfillment centers to customers’ front doors. Packages arrive through the loading dock, are processed in the delivery station, and picked up by local third-party DSPs. On the north and south sides of the warehouse, 550-foot-long cross-laminated timber canopies shelter users from the elements.
The loading dock opens up to a grand volume within the delivery station with wraparound clerestory windows to maximize daylight. The office block includes a large break room and flexible training room that celebrate the exposed mass timber structure with high ceilings and storefront glazing, framing views to the site and forest beyond.
