Medical Cannabis – Grow Facilities and Dispensaries

The cannabis industry has grown exponentially over recent years with the first Precis client holding one of the first five licenses issued in the state of New York. From there, we have worked with several different clients with multi-state operations dedicated to helping individuals feel and live better through cannabis. These projects typically involve a retrofit of an existing facility for controlled-environment indoor grow, post-processing, research and development (R&D), and automated packaging.

Grow facilities have ranged from 30,000-100,000 sf of indoor grow area along with indoor drying and curing spaces, agricultural R&D spaces, post-processing extraction facilities, a quality control lab and kitchen, automated packaging line, warehouse and vault space, and dedicated fertigation space.

Renovation design has involved increasing utility capacities and meeting strict HVAC requirements for the incorporation of LED grow lighting, purified water and irrigation, emergency generators, HVAC systems redundancy, carbon dioxide monitoring and safety systems, and automation systems.

Precis has also been involved with a number of dispensary projects that have been part of larger grow facilities or as stand-alone projects. These dispensary projects have ranged from 5,000-6,000 sf and have been designed to meet the specific state licensing requirements for the retail sales area, the secure entrance and processing area, and the secure loading areas. Designs have fostered the clients’ intent to create upscale medical/hospitality environments within the interiors.
