Transit center facilities can have a positive impact on the quality of life within communities when combined with affordable housing and town/city centers that have retail and commercial components, as well as college, university, and medical campuses. Public transportation needs to be convenient, comfortable, efficient, and inspirational.
Your goal is to have a successful public transportation system that is an integral part of the communities you serve. Our goal is to help you find creative and cost-effective solutions that fit your needs.
The facility is located on a large open site that provides excellent opportunities for an efficient arrangement of building, parking and site circulation.
Attention to detail is the overarching principle that guides the successful design of bus and vehicle maintenance facilities at Wendel. These facilities act as the exam, emergency and operating rooms for the transit provider. In order for them to safely and efficiently serve the traveling public, all of the component parts in these facilities, from the fueling and washing to the overhead doors, maintenance bays, shops and parts room, to the heating, ventilating and lighting, all must work together seamlessly to maintain the fleet in good health.
Wendel was retained to review and verify a previous conceptual design, perform preliminary engineering, obtain site plans and permit approvals, and to advance the project through final design and construction.
Wendel provided architecture and engineering services for the design and construction of a new operations and maintenance facility that will house forty buses and provide for future expansion.
Fully integrated intermodal transit centers enhance the quality of life in the communities they serve by giving the traveling public as many transportation mode choices as possible to complete their trip. Wendel has assisted clients in designing intermodal transit centers for over 30 years, from selecting the appropriate site, to programming, conceptual and detailed design, right on through to completed construction. While each transportation center is unique, our accumulated years of experience in designing them has taught us there are certain items consistently found to be key in their successful design, implementation and long-term operation. These all need to be solved and fully integrated into the design by the project team in collaboration with the transit providers.
