Albuquerque Public Schools
The Albuquerque Public School Main Bus Depot Renovation project is a 33,000-square foot renovation of the old Wagner Equipment Building in Northeast Albuquerque to serve as the headquarters for the APS Student Transportation Services Department. The building sits on a 23-acre site, which was also developed to accommodate parking for 250 school buses.
The building was designed and constructed to meet the needs of a wide range of occupants – including bus drivers, APS police officers, operations administrators, trainers, recruiters, and safety managers. The two-story office building includes an elevator, 32 offices, a training room, two conference rooms, a coffee bar, two break rooms, eight restrooms, a space for bus dispatch, and several utility rooms.
The project was developed with consideration to the future needs of the Department – giving it the ability to scale up and down for staffing, mission, and other needs. The DIRTT Wall Assembly provides building occupants with the flexibility to reconfigure the space to accommodate staff growth and shifting demands. These walls are wrapped in stunning graphics and colors, which bring bright, colorful, and interesting images to the building’s structure at every corner.
Designed by DWL Architects and Planners of New Mexico, the Main Bus Depot project honors the building’s past while ensuring it can meet the needs for the future of Student Transportation Services.
