The new three-level garage can accommodate and house 300 new electric buses. It is the first bus garage in North America to be fully underground and equipped with facilities to operate an entire fleet of electric buses. The center has two connecting structures: an underground three-level garage where the buses are parked and maintained, and a one-storey ring-shaped building with lots of windows where administrative offices and employee facilities are located. The ring-shaped building also has a fire prevention station and a passenger revenue operational management workshop. ADF’s contract includes shop drawings, fabrication as well as installing about 11,982 tons of structural steel and 850,000 sq ft of deck.
