SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT: Approximately two-thirds of the four-acre site is being developed into a truck maintenance and storage facility for an automobile hauling company. The site/civil design calls for regrading and paving, stormwater improvements (including bioswales), parking, landscaping and utilities. The building shell will consist of a pre-engineered metal building frame clad in deep-profile insulated metal panels, aluminum storefront windows, and concrete block. A wood-framed mezzanine will provide additional floor area for parts storage and offices. The building is designed with a single shed roof with large eaves, which will allow high windows on the building’s west side; they will provide daylight for the maintenance shop and mezzanine. At the front entry and office area, 12-inch-thick concrete block in a four-color pattern will provide visual interest. The 8-foot-high concrete block wainscot in other areas will integrate with the site wall for a unified composition. The project will provide Professional Auto Transport a more visible presence in the Portland area and a location close to Port of Portland terminals.
