- Administration Building: a new 10,000 square foot facility, replacing the car showroom, with offices, a large conference room and break room.
- Warehouse: renovation of an existing pre-engineered structure providing vehicle storage, additional offices, locker rooms and unconditioned equipment storage, 15,000 square foot.
- Conditioned Storage: renovation of an existing pre-engineered structure providing conditioned storage.
- Guardhouse: a small fully conditioned structure at the site entry.
- Site amenities include: covered fleet storage, material and equipment storage, outdoor service bay and bulk material storage bins.
The project has been designed toward a goal of LEED Silver Certification and includes six rain gardens and a green roof.
