RUMPKE BUILDING 1 TRUCK MAINTENANCE FACILITY

– Colerain Township, OH

The new state-of-the-art truck maintenance facility consists of a new 65,000 sq ft building and a 350-space truck parking/operations area on an eighteen acre site.  The new maintenance building consists of 32 high bay truck maintenance bays, a 10,000 sq ft parts storage area, 13,000 sq ft of second floor office space, a 4,000 sq ft training area, 2,500 sq ft of operations offices, and a 1,600 sq ft truck wash bay.  The building is constructed employing several different construction types to maximize aesthetics while minimizing cost and involves conventional steel framing supported on a combination of tilt-up concrete and steel metal panel walls.  Working closely with the company’s maintenance personnel, the building was designed around the owner’s operations to maximize efficiency and minimize life cycle costs.  Expected to be complete mid 2008, this new $7 million building will consolidate truck maintenance operations and provide office space for expanding office functions.  Steven Schaefer Associates is the prime consultant for the design and construction administration of the facility.
