Renovation of a mixed-use development in Bangor, Maine. Design plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility; and 24,000-square-foot, one-story above grade transportation facility.

This project involves maintaining a portion of the existing building as the City’s Sewer Department while renovating the remaining 24,000 square feet cold storage facility for the Community Connector. The bulk of the project includes the addition of a new Community Connector Training Facility for workforce development, services for the Community Connector and an electrification system for future Battery Electric Buses (BEBs), all of which will need to be coordinated with any required renovation work.
