The Mn/DOT Maple Grove building is a new facility that combines the functions of their Golden Valley   Field Supply and Maple Grove Maintenance Facilities into one building.  Once completed, this building will function as a central hub for Mn/DOT, providing 35 vehicle maintenance stalls, 4 large welding bays, as well as space for 27 vehicles in heated storage.  The Field Supply Inventory Center is designed to be in the center of the building, providing access to both vehicle maintenance and storage, as well as provide service for other Mn/DOT facilities and a loading dock for vendor access.  Kodet is following the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (MSBG) in the design.  Kodet is also using computer  3D modeling  for renderings for staff meetings and cost estimate takeoffs. 

Sustainable Concepts:
Geothermal system with pond loops, utilizing existing ponds on site.
Clerestory windows in vehicle maintenance to provide natural ventilation as well as daylight.
