The North Scottsdale Park and Ride is located on a 5.8-acre reclaimed site south of Scottsdale Airport at the end of an active runway. The facility, which includes a 700-sq-ft building, features LED site lighting and pervious concrete pavement, which manages stormwater. The park-and-ride lot qualifies as a net-zero facility, with the photovoltaic panel system producing more energy than the site consumes.
Judges were impressed with the effort spent designing and constructing a project type that is often overlooked, with one suggesting this facility could serve as a prototype for other owners.
