Project information

Currently in the design development phase, Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School district regularly transports over 13,000 students and lacks the proper facility to sustain itself. As of right now the Goose Creek Transportation Facility is spread between various buildings, losing time and energy going back and forth that could be spent on more important business. This new building will house the entire transportation center with extra space for future growth and fully support the 3 main functions of the space: administration/operations, training/safety, and service.

 

The building is broken into two sections based on these functions and share a centralized mechanical system, thus creating a building that can easily expand if needed. Equipped with an administrative suite, open air training/break rooms with direct bus vehicle training, lots of storage, and secure vestibule/corridors this facility will serve its occupants on a basic level while giving them an extra gear that will help them to be more efficient. Three large training areas can be combined to offer GCCISD a much needed 300+ person training and presentation facility for the entire district to take advantage of. Utilizing inexpensive, durable materials in interesting ways and its school-bus-yellow service center, the building will speak “Transportation Center”.
