Auban Cannery

The Ministry of Economics established the Auban Cannery in the year 72 with the intent to process and package cheap food to feed a exponentially growing lower class population. The cannery is formed by two wings, the packing wing, and the canning wing. The packing wing takes in beef, pork, and other livestock meats and processes them into sausages and ground products. The canning wing takes in sardines, cod, and other fish and treats them to be stored in cans.

In the year 135 a fire raced through the packing wing of the building. Three workers died in the blaze. The official report filed to the Ministry of Jurisprudence suggested the disaster was caused by a spark from the machinery striking improperly disposed of rags covered in oil. The manager at the time, however, was convinced it was arson. Either way, the wing had to be rebuilt, and completed in the year 139, it now sports much more modern equipment than the canning wing. With the population of lower class workers continuing to skyrocket, the ministry of Economics has ordered a second canning wing to be added to the building. Construction of of the wing has been approved and slated to start in the year 151. The site, originally a storehouse for the complex, has been cleared and leveled in preparation for the construction.

The Ministry of Economics desired to get the cannery functional as soon as possible. To do this, a temporary building was hastily constructed to house the machinery before more permanent walls and ceilings were added. This resulted in the original two wings having a wooden skeleton which metal and stone augmented. After the fire in the packing wing, the wooden substructure was replaced by a metal frame in the canning wing. The new packing wing was entirely formed from metal and stone in a functional design.
