The CREA Food Technology Centre is designed to have a logical flow of production, reflected in the floor plan below. Here is a run-down (right to left on the floor plan) of how the CREA Food Technology Centre works:

GOODS IN: This communal area has a roller shutter for receiving raw goods, as well as pallet space. There is an intercom on the wall outside which is linked to a telephone in the main production area. Production wear is not required in this area, but people from outside may not enter the rest of the factory area due to the risk of cross-contamination.

GOODS IN STORE: This communal area contains six lockable cages, with racking for storage of incoming goods. There is also space for pallets of raw goods. All businesses taking up a full-time unit will receive keys to their own cage. Full production wear must be worn in this area.

EQUIPMENT WASH AND STORE: This communal area contains our heavy-duty dishwasher, a double sink, and racks for drying equipment. There is also space to store equipment. Full production wear must be worn in this area.

PACKING/LABELLING: This communal area contains table space for packing and labelling, as well as our communal blast chiller. Full production wear must be worn in this area.

CHILL ROOM: A communal chill room for the storage of finished products prior to despatch.

FINISHED GOODS STORE: This communal area has a roller shutter for despatch of finished goods, as well as pallet space. There is an intercom on the wall outside which is linked to a telephone in the main production area. Production wear is not required in this area, but people from outside may not enter the rest of the factory area due to the risk of cross-contamination.This area also contains six lockable cages, with racking for storage of finished goods. All businesses taking up a full-time unit will receive keys to their own cage.

UNITS 1-6: These areas are exclusive to the businesses using them--you may not enter another tenant's unit without invitation.

The CREA Food Technology Centre also has communal areas for office space and eating, as well as toilets, locker space and a wet room for showering.
