C-TRAN Campus Maintenance Building

Sturdy and Supportive

Resulting from an RFP master plan and needs assessment, C-TRAN's campus expansion in Vancouver, Washington, was a multi-phase mission. Starting by demolishing the existing administration building and the temporary operators trailer to construct an expanded parking lot system, the site’s new layout is devoted to safety, movement, and security, staying in operation throughout the entire process. The flow of buses and the different needs of end-users were centered throughout this multi-step process. Parking lots for employees, buses, general visitors, and an upcoming park-and-ride area grant plenty of space for motor vehicles, no matter their size or intended use. Dotting the asphalt sea like islands, two separate structures make up the campus’ buildings. Going into the expansion, a small barn for buses was requested on the service side of the site. However, the resulting needs assessment led to the realization that much more scope was still required. The immediate need was a parking lot, followed by the bus maintenance facility, since C-TRAN needed to ensure that their buses were operable and had places to park throughout the entire campus expansion – the garage doors were open the whole time. The one-story industrial concrete tilt-up – sturdy enough for a bus to hit – is reserved for the maintenance of up to six transportation vehicles. It creates space for buses to come in, fuel up, get washed and maintained before returning to the yard to embark back on their route.
