This Rock Island County’s Metropolitan Mass Transit bus service project, included a much larger, updated space in Rock Island, Illinois. This $22 million, 150,000 SF facility houses all MetroLink’s administrative and maintenance offices, training areas and fitness center. Diesel & Natural gas fueling, paint booths, vehicle lifts, a bus wash, vehicle lubrication system, a methane gas detection system and cranes and lifts were some of the components of this project.

The project was to create a LEED Silver Certified facility featuring a PV Solar Array System, a Solar Thermal Hot Water System, a Water Reclamation System at the bus wash, bio-swales, native grasses, management of construction waste, and the use of recycled materials within the facility. This new facility is on the site of an old I.H. industrial facility
