1/21/2009 (Naperville, IL) – McShane Construction is pleased to announce the recent completion of the 213,067 square foot Public Works Service Center on behalf of the City of Naperville, Illinois. Located on a 22-acre site at 180 Fort Hill Drive, the new facility was designed and constructed to meet LEED™-certification requirements. Areas for administrative and office functions, fleet services and operations, heated and unheated storage, welding, paint and sign shops were completed as part of the assignment. The archival storage and administrative offices for the historical Naper Settlement were also incorporated into this new facility. The assignment included the construction of several ancillary components, including an on-site salt dome and fuel station. To meet the requirements for LEED™-certification, McShane Construction recycled stone and asphalt from the site and reused those materials in driveways, sidewalks and site improvements. The construction also incorporated low-flow water fixtures, abundant natural light and landscape planning that integrated native plants to diminish excessive run-off. Through its state-of-the-art design, the building has enabled the Naperville Public Works Department to gain even greater efficiencies in delivering critical services to the residents of this large suburban community. Notwithstanding 97 days of inclement weather throughout the project schedule, McShane Construction together with project architect, Areté 3, completed this sizable project on-time and within budget.
