NEW TRANSPORTATION FACILITY

We are delighted to be selected to design a New Transportation Facility for Teton County School District #1. The existing bus barn is less than 8,000 square feet, was built in 1975 and has just 3 bays, while the district currently utilizes 47 buses for 3,000 students. The new transportation facility will be 17,600 square feet and will be constructed at the current site of the southern most Cow Pasture softball field. The building site is adjacent to the Broncs stadium, the district’s administrative offices and the Giants baseball field. An integral part of this new project is reconfiguring the existing entrance and exit into the area into a more sensible site plan making it easier to move buses from the storage area to the south to the new facility. We have been working closely with the district’s staff, making sure that the design of the new building will fulfill their many requirements, including six bays for bus maintenance, two isolated bays for washing busses, separated and secure storage for tools, tires, parts, windshields, batteries and fluids and specific mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems that will provide for safe, efficient, well-lit, heated and ventilated work spaces. The new facility will have a secure vestibule and reception area along with needed employee offices, training room, showers and locker rooms and breakroom/assembly area.

DMA is grateful to continue our working relationship with Teton County School District #1 and the Wyoming State Construction Department (SCD), School Facilities Division (SFD), which is providing funding for the project. Dubbe Moulder Architects also worked with the SFD to design Munger Mountain Elementary School and we are currently working with the school district on the Bronc Achievement Center. It is exciting and rewarding to create a new transporation facility that will be so much more functional than the old existing structure.
