Peter's Township - Public Works 

Peter's Township awarded RSH Architects a commission to study facility needs and produce a site development masterplan, integrating a public works maintenance facility, bulk material storage and a community recycling center into the first phase of development of a community park.  The new Peterswood Park entrance would be positioned in close proximity  to the public works facility, necessitating visual and security screening of the site.

The public works complex project included renovations and an addition to an existing prefabricated building to provide additional vehicular storage, a high bay for a truck lift, major improvements to all mechanical and electrical systems and renovation of the public works office and staff areas.  The bulk storage facility was designed to contain up to 2000 cubic yards of road salt under cover with additional open bin storage for road materials.  The facility was structured to utilize the existing grade as a natural surcharge against the stored material.  Structural elements were held twenty two feet above the grade, thus permitting front end loaders and tri-axle dump trucks to clear the roof during loading and unloading.

Subsequently, Peter's Township retained RSH Architects to design an addition to the storage building to house various road equipment and other weather sensitive apparatus.  The expansion followed the original plan, with foundations for the open storage bins reused for the new addition.
