The Town of Truckee Public Works Administration Building and
Corporation Yard is situated on a 16.4-acre parcel. It shares part of its site with an Animal
Care Facility that will be a public/private partnership
between the Town of Truckee and the Humane Society of Truckee.
When
fully built-out, there will be a total of 97,000 square feet of new
buildings at this facility. Immediately surrounding the
perimeter of the site are light- to heavily-wooded areas.
Trees are currently present sporadically throughout the site with a
moderate concentration of trees and landscaped area at the west
end of the site. The sun most dramatically filters and illuminates the work
spaces through the south facing windows.
