DESCRIPTION:  The project represents Phase One of a proposed three-phase development project.  The current phase involves the demolition of an existing 30,000 square foot building followed by the construction of a new bus transfer facility.  The new facility will consist of an 830 square foot Customer Service Building and 2,400 square feet of canopy passenger shelters of contemporary design.  The site-work consists of over 27,000 square feet of concrete walkways, concrete and asphalt pavement sections, and surface parking.  The remainder of the site will be landscaped utilizing drought tolerant materials.

CHALLENGES:

The structures incorporate structural steel, glue-laminated lumber, and sheet metals to form cantilevered, curved roof structures of contemporary design.  The project site work will be performed while maintaining access to a heavily trafficked access road for the local US Post office.
