Expanded operations center improves space and productivity

Jefferson County Public Utilities developed a consolidated campus bringing administrative, customer services, and operations functions to a centralized one site to improve space, productivity, and long-term cost efficiency. AHBL provided structural engineering design of the addition to the existing Operations Center site. The facility consisted of a one-story office building, framed with conventional wood framed construction on a conventional foundation. In addition to the structural building design, AHBL also evaluated the existing office building and vehicle storage canopy as part of an International Existing Building Code (IEBC) Level 2 alteration. The IEBC provides requirements for repair and alternation approaches to existing buildings. The new structure includes materials palette of metal roofing, fiber cement siding, and clear sealed cedar to introduce a dynamic entrance element.
