Form, Function + Filtered Sunlight Through Large Expanses of Glass

The Town of Truckee Public Works Administration Building and Corporation Yard will be situated on a 16.4-acre parcel.  It will share 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.  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.  However, it will be through the south facing windows of the new public works' buildings that the sun will most dramatically filter and illuminate the work spaces.
