Add space without losing floor area. Free quote." lang: en --- Image: Two-Story Modular Offices in a Nashville, Tennessee industrial facility (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/assets/project-office-two-story-BxpLCojA.jpg) # Two-Story Modular Offices in Nashville, TN In the big-box buildings going up along I-24 and I-40 East, floor space is leased by the square foot and clear height often goes unused. A two-story modular office puts that height to work: engineering, HR, or a lunch room upstairs, with supervision left on the ground level. We plan two-level buildings for distribution and manufacturing sites from La Vergne (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/service-area/la-vergne) to Lebanon, starting with a free layout and an itemized price. Call (888) 697-6368: (888) 697-6368 ## Building Up Instead of Out A structural steel deck spans the ground-floor office and carries the upper level. Its live-load rating is engineered for what goes upstairs, whether that is desks and files or a 30-seat training room. People reach the second floor by an interior or exterior stair tower with handrails and landings. We place it so it does not block a dock door or a forklift path. Newer distribution buildings in La Vergne, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, and Portland offer 32 to 40 feet of clear height. That leaves room for two full levels with space to spare overhead. Heat rises, and a Tennessee summer pushes the upper floor of a non-air-conditioned warehouse well past the ground level. We give each floor its own HVAC zone so neither one struggles. With industrial vacancy this tight, two-story buildings come up most in Mt. Juliet (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/service-area/mt-juliet), Lebanon (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/service-area/lebanon), and Portland (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/service-area/portland). If a single level is enough, start with our in-plant offices (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/products/modular-in-plant-offices) or see the full lineup on the home page (https://nashvillemodularoffices.com/).

Here is what goes into a typical two-level build. - Steel mezzanine deck engineered to a rated live load - Separate HVAC zones for the upper and lower floors - Stair towers inside or outside the office, with handrails, landings, and non-slip treads - Guardrail and kick-plate packages along open deck edges - Matching insulated wall panels on both levels - Prewired electric, data paths, and LED lighting upstairs and down - Fire-rated wall assemblies where the layout calls for them ## What Usually Goes Upstairs - Engineering teams that need to be a short walk from the line - Training and meeting rooms over a shipping office - Break and locker rooms lifted away from forklift traffic - Admin and HR offices in buildings that cannot grow outward ### How a Two-Level Project Runs \1.
