Any organization with thousands of residents provides services for all aspects of operations. Most towns have Departments of Public Works. Harvard University has the Campus Services Center.
This 60,000 square foot facility consists of a new 10,000 sf building next to a renovated former warehouse.
The new building has a radiant heat slab, in floor bus lifts, and complex vehicle maintenance systems throughout.
It is a precise box; one side scaled for function, the other scaled for the neighborhood.
Adaptive re-use of the former warehouse is part of this office’s focus on sustainability.
A football field size green space helps negotiate a relationship between facility and street path.
