Phoenix Transit West Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility
The City of Phoenix wanted to build a maintenance and operating facility in west Phoenix to expand service and be more efficient in operating buses in the area. Â鶹´«Ã½ provided architecture, interior design, civil, and traffic engineering services for the West Operating Facility.
One of the client¡¯s primary desires was to have all bays in the maintenance building designed to be drive-thru bays and to have all employees in close proximity to one another, which required that the design team develop a unique design solution. The result? A four-building complex that includes a maintenance facility, administration and operations space, wash building, and fueling building. Drive-through bays allow 40- to 60-foot (approximately 12-18 metre) buses to enter and exit easily. Covered parking cools temperatures inside the vehicles during hot weather.
The West Operating Facility is the first large-scale bus operations facility anywhere in the United States designed to operate without any backing maneuvers, helping to enhance safety throughout the entire site.
