Transit Hub Courtyard
The new office and dispatch center consolidates administration and drivers into a single, purpose-built facility adjacent to the bus yard, while communicating the Agency’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The orientation of the project supports oversight of the bus yard and views of the airport runway and surrounding landscape, while also providing an open courtyard to the employees and visitors.

Project Plan


We implemented passive heating and cooling, optimized solar energy production, and reduced electricity usage. Mass timber construction will be used for a quicker construction timeline and for fire resistance. Stayner Architects is working with the landscape architect to foster fire-resistant planting design, to support the capture and reuse of water, and to create a garden of native plants. The building seeks to coexist rather than stand out from the landscape.
