Innovative and Sustainable Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility by Snow Kreilich Architects

Snow Kreilich Architects has collaborated with Metro Transit to deliver the exceptional Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility. This innovative 460-stall elevated structure demonstrates the firm's commitment to architectural excellence, comprehensive documentation, and construction management. Delivered in just 4.5 months, this facility was developed alongside the Kenrick Avenue park and ride to fulfill the requirements of the Federal Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) funds. The project stands as a beacon of efficiency and modernity in transit-oriented design.

The design of the Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility prioritizes safety, sustainability, and aesthetics. To address Metro Transit's concerns, Snow Kreilich Architects integrated a perforated, recycled aluminum cladding panel. This innovative cladding not only conceals the concrete structure but also allows for transparency and natural light. The dynamic façade created by the interplay of light and shadow adds visual interest, making the facility an appealing landmark in the community.

In line with B3 standards, the Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility showcases a variety of sustainable design features. The use of recycled aluminum siding, native landscaping, and recycled mulch highlights the project's commitment to environmental stewardship. LED lighting is strategically placed throughout the facility, enhancing visibility while minimizing energy consumption. The incorporation of recycled and low VOC materials further elevates the project's sustainability credentials, ensuring a healthy environment for users.

A robust security system was designed to enhance the safety of the Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility. This state-of-the-art system allows Metro Transit to monitor activity throughout the building, providing peace of mind for users. The thoughtful integration of security measures reflects a holistic approach to transit design, where user safety is paramount.

In conclusion, the Twin Lakes Park & Ride Facility exemplifies Snow Kreilich Architects' dedication to innovative design and sustainable practices. This facility not only serves its practical purpose but also enriches the aesthetic landscape of the area. With its completion, Metro Transit offers a safe, sustainable, and visually appealing environment for park and ride users, reinforcing the importance of thoughtful design in modern transit solutions.
