PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The existing facility built in the early 1960s, is overcrowded, inefficient, and no longer sufficient to implement the city’s needs as a maintenance facility. GPa was obtained to update and expand the current facility. The new corporate yard will have a new administration building, canopy, fuel station, and warehouse facilities.  The renovation and addition takes place within the existing site of the city’s current municipal facility along with an adjacent site the city has obtained for a police training facility that GPa is also designing.  

...

One of the challenges of this project was that the facility is required to be operational during the course of renovation. GPa worked with the city for a phasing plan to relocate staff and keep it operational during the course of construction. The new building will have notable sustainable features and reflect the residential scale of the surrounding residential neighborhood.
