架构师提供的文本描述。RNL与论坛建筑师和维修设计小组(千年发展目标)合作，被选为设计南本公共交通公司(Transpo)Emil“Lucky”Reznik管理、维修的公司

Text description provided by the architects. RNL, in association with Forum Architects, and Maintenance Design Group (MDG), was selected to design South Bend Public Transportation Corporation’s (TRANSPO) Emil “Lucky” Reznik Administration, Maintenance & Operations Facility. Incorporating sustainable design and construction strategies for energy efficient building systems, the facility creates a healthy work environment for employees and visitors. The project is certified as LEED-NC Platinum by the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.

雷兹尼克设施为公共汽车运营提供现代维修区域，以及住房管理空间、公共汽车存储区、培训和会议区、员工休息室、更衣室和外部工作区。所有公共汽车和维修区域都包含在建筑物内，这使得所有必要的日常功能，包括清洗和加油，无论天气恶劣，都可以发生。

The Reznik facility provides contemporary maintenance areas for bus operations as well as housing administration space, bus storage, training and conference areas, employee break rooms, locker areas, and exterior work areas. All bus and maintenance areas are contained within the building, which allows all necessary daily functions, including washing and fueling, to occur regardless of inclement weather.

作为一个为满足Transpo未来需求而设计的设施，运营和生命周期成本效率是建筑设计和材料选择中固有的。采光使自然光深入到设施中，减少了白天对人工光线的需求。对城市雨水下水道的影响被否定了，因为所有的雨水都被保留在地下蓄水层的渗水和补给中，并创造了几个本土生态系统，包括湿地和没有灌溉的草原。从一开始，可持续性和长期成本对Transpo至关重要。这使设计团队能够挑战车辆维修项目的现状，创造一种永恒、获奖和减少直接运营成本的架构，同时增加对社区的运输服务。

As a facility designed to meet TRANSPO’s future needs, operational and life-cycle cost efficiencies are inherent in the building’s design and material selections. Daylighting allows natural light to penetrate deep into the facility, reducing the need for artificial light during the day. The impact on the city’s storm sewer is negated because all storm water is retained on site to percolate and recharge the aquifer and create several native ecologies, including wetlands and non-irrigated grasslands. From the start, sustainability and long-term costs were of the utmost importance to TRANSPO. This allowed the design team to challenge the status quo of vehicle maintenance projects, and create an architecture that is timeless, award winning and reduces direct operating costs while increasing transportation service to the community.
