wenatchee public servicES Center
This facility in downtown Wenatchee opened on November 19, 2008. It is adjacent to a junior high, homes, and apartments, and is designed to be a good neighbor. The public sides appear as single-story buildings. The operational yard is lower, and the buildings are as high as 3 stories.
The Center accommodated the City's Public Works Operations, Engineering, Environmental Review, Planning, Building, Parks Maintenance, and Recreation Departments. The project includes 5 buildings on a 4.7-acre site. The Administration Building acted as a mini-City Hall, providing building permits and sign-ups for City rec programs. Other buildings provide for vehicle maintenance, workshops, enclosed storage and parking, and covered storage. A sixth building was constructed at the City's wastewater facility to accommodate vactors and other equipment and provide a shop for the wastewater crews.
Artwork
We worked with the following artists to integrate art into the building:
Jo Braun created the mosaic at the front entry to the building and various other art throughout the building.
Michele Van Slyke created the wall sconces.
