Part of a larger campus masterplan, the new operations building for C-Tran provides services for C-TRAN's bus drivers and operators during their downtime or between shifts. It also provides areas for training new and existing employees. The Operations building showcases an emerging construction technology in Mass Plywood Panels which were used as the roof structure and exposed on the interior. The exposed plywood structure creates a warm and relaxing interior for the operators to lounge in, utilize the various amenities, and have their training sessions. It's a facility designed to entice prospective employees, demonstrating how mass timber can be functional and beautiful. The exterior materials of the operations building attempts to connect to the existing structures on the site by utilizing Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) stacked in a vertical orientation to and panelized to create variation in scale along the main circulation path of the campus. A texture and subtle color variation of exposed aggregate attempts to tie the campus together as a comprehensive whole. C-TRAN operation center is Ankrom Moisan’s first completed mass plywood project and 1 of 5 completed mass timber buildings – achieved lots of cost savings during construction in a sustainable way and ties the operations building to the lush, verdant landscape of the Pacific Northwest, solidifying C-TRAN's position as the premier transportation service of Vancouver, Washington. Across from the operations building a new concrete tilt-up maintenance building was also completed, augmenting and updating the existing facilities.
