Davis Design recently partnered with the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) on a new facility in Columbus that supports joint services for District 3 and the Nebraska State Patrol. The 23,000-square-foot facility is a pre-engineered metal building.
To support vehicle maintenance needs the space features 8 drive-thru equipment bays, a mechanics’ bay, a drive-thru wash bay, storage bays, and a storage mezzanine.
The NDOT office facilities, with ample daylighting, support a superintendent, an 8-person maintenance crew, and 10 construction tech personnel. As well as a supporting materials testing lab and breakroom.
Of the overall total, a 2,400-square-foot wing is dedicated to State Patrol district operations. The area has a separate, controlled entrance and incorporates space for 2 sergeants, 2 investigators, a roll-out common room for 6 troopers, carrier enforcement, and a K-9 team. It also includes an interview room and secured evidence-holding space.
Other on-site facilities include two new fabric-covered salt storage structures and a cold storage building. The site design included retention cells to control and manage storm runoff.
