Park Operations Service Center 

Columbus, Indiana

Project Information: The original concept was to replace the existing maintenance facility with a new one at the same location.  This created a controversy for two reasons: first, it was in historic and pastoral Donner Park and second, the building grew from 6,000 SF to 18,000 SF.  The contentious process for this project involved working with concerned neighbors.

• $1.25 million project had no net change orders and currently is a state of the art maintenance facility.
