The new $73.5-million bus facility for Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation is not an average garage. Built to achieve LEED Gold certification, the 442,265-sq-ft project will stack the vehicles in a state-of-the art three-story building.
“An interesting aspect is that this is a multi-level structure for buses which you don’t see too often,” says Aaron Kelly, project director with RNL Design, Los Angeles. “These projects are usually a large, flat surface lot that all the facility is parked on, so to go vertical with a bus facility is fairly unique.”
