Embarking on the renovation or reconstruction of a new public works garage requires the integration of many planning factors that most public works professionals do not typically encounter. Determining what functions should be incorporated, calculating their sizing, arranging the layout, and specifying major equipment needs should be based on best industry practices. This session provides public works professionals with a robust methodology for rationalizing and justifying the design criteria for their garage projects, allowing them to move forward with a compelling rationale for budget approval. Created by both a fleet manager and an industry-experienced architect, this seminar will focus on seven design principles: robust definition of your building program, workflow efficiency, staff productivity, asset control and security, supervision and communications, building performance and sustainability, and integration of future trends.
