The site is sloped which lent itself well to a <br />two story addition. The two story office portion of the expansion is around 4,000 <br />square feet. The second level is available for use by other city departments. A large <br />20,200 square foot vehicle storage area was added as well as a new wash bay for city <br />vehicles. <br />The exterior of the facility is comprised of precast concrete panels, ribbed aluminum <br />metal panels and pre - finished aluminum storefront glass. <br />A major driving force of the design was the need for natural light. The vehicle <br />storage area has translucent panels around the entire upper portion of the building, <br />which helps cut down on the dependence of artificial lighting. <br />Existing renovated building <br />shown in white. <br />The shaded areas represent <br />the areas that were expanded. <br />68 <br />40 <br />
