PROJECT VISION Our team vision for your Public Works facility incorporates several strategies to ensure a successful, cost-effective solution to meet your current and potential future operational needs. The strategies we include a number of key elements including: Understanding the Site and Context, Functionality and Design, Communication, Facility Resiliency and Sustainability, Schedule, Quality Control, Working within Budget Constraints, & Cost Control. SITE AND CONTEXT UNDERSTANDING The existing Public Works facility is located at 1189 Main Street. The facility is bordered by park to the west, single-family residential to the east and south, and farmland to north. The facility is located on the corner and while set back and screened by a stormwater feature, it is highly visible from a well -trafficked Main Street. The facility will likely see the most vehicular traffic during early morning and early afternoon hours when staff arrive and depart for the day in their personal vehicles. Heavy vehicle traffic will also increase during the course of the day as equipment comes in and out of the site. Emergency situations, such as large snow events will likely result in increased traffic flow throughout the evenings, and potentially over multiple days. These types of scenarios will be closely studied to maximize operational efficiencies while maintaining operational safety at all times. We will explore contextual elements to inform the design process such as wind exposure, sun exposure, natural slopes and vegetation during the design. These are all factors that will contribute the siting and orientation of the facility in order to take advantage of passive solar, integrating daylighting, and determining heating and cooling load. In addition, how stormwater is collected and treated, the locations for your well and septic systems, and the salt storage operations are all critical factors to be evaluated to fully inform the project's complete goals. -1-1 � s T I AT'- -900 r STORAGE coNrao� STORAGE �,owER ----- ICE RINK Many of the ways buildings impact climate relate to the site, and have minimal cost 8 if explored early in design.
