anchor Description
The existing Rock Creek Park Maintenance Yard is located within Rock Creek Regional Park at 15881 Beach Drive in Derwood, MD 20855. It is east of the intersection of Needwood Road and Beach Drive. The site is approximately five acres. The existing buildings were built during the 1960's and 1970's when the park was first developed. The main objective for this project is to bring the existing outdated, inadequate and deteriorated facility up to industry standard and comparable to other newer facilities such as the Black Hill, Cabin John, and Wheaton Maintenance Yards. The major components of the project include: administration building, vehicle maintenance shop, work shops for two crews, equipment storage building, material storage building, staff parking, vehicle parking, and fuel island. The consultant has designed the new maintenance facility with the objective of achieving a green building level of at least LEED Silver rating without any major additional cost to the project.
