Public Sector

Essex built this new operations and maintenance facility for the Lane Transit District. Building features include exposed block masonry and structural steel elements, daylighting using clerestory glazing and reflective surfaces, and a 3,300 sq. ft. shop with lift and specialized equipment for servicing buses. The landscaping includes rock basins and a bio-swale designed to filter storm water run-off with plant materials. Extensive use was made of native vegetation. Interior spaces use Marmoleum and other sustainable materials. The building was designed by PIVOT Architecture.
