Washtenaw County Road Commission Northeast Service Center
Ann Arbor, Michigan
The new WCRC Northeast Service Center includes the development of a new 15-acre parcel for the road commission’s regional operations. Planned site features include a fuel depot, truck scale, outdoor material storage yard, future brine well, an approximately 3,000-ton salt barn, and the construction of a new 29,690-square-foot vehicle parking and light maintenance facility.
The new facility includes a service bay, parts and tool storage, lubrication fluid storage, storage mezzanines accessible by an overhead crane, wash bay, and 13 parking stalls, including spaces for eight tandem axle snow plows and a tow plow. Additional staff support functions include men’s and women’s lockers, a foreman’s office, and a break room. Energy conservation is planned through the use of low flow fixtures with electronic sensors to reduce water consumption, along with clearstory windows to allow for natural light and reduced energy consumption.
