The West St. Paul maintenance facility is a replacement of the city’s existing, outdated building on a new site. The new facility has greatly enhanced the efficiency of public works by housing their entire vehicle fleet in heated covered storage and providing a state of art maintenance garage and welding shop. Incorporating many sustainable concepts in the design, Kodet used this project in seminars as a case study for LEED concepts in maintenance buildings. Kodet also used computer 3D modeling for renderings for city meetings, as well as accurate drawings and cost estimate takeoffs. Construction will be completed fall 2010.
Sustainable concepts:
1. Geothermal system with vertical loops
2. On-site holding ponds to filter stormwater on site
3. Daylight concepts, including high bay
4. Durable, long-lasting materials: precast concrete, brick
5. Green materials: locally available and recycled
6. Preservation of trees on site
