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.
