Lawrence Phase 1 Municipal Services & Operations Building

In planning and design since 2019, Phase 1 construction of the $110M MSO Campus is nearing completion. The Master Plan process included full facility and site assessments for 6 Public Works Divisions, needs analysis, test fits, visualization and public meetings. The final design is tracking LEED Gold certification and is enthusiastically supported by the surrounding neighborhood. Energy and daylight modeling informed the design, which combines durable materials and diffuse natural daylighting into all spaces–even shop and maintenance spaces. The focus on staff well-being and Public Works pride, also resulted in the creation of indoor / outdoor break room areas, encouraging staff to connect with the natural environment. The Phase 1 MSO building under construction includes administrative spaces, training and meeting spaces, shops, locker rooms, breakrooms, and conditioned vehicle storage for along with sitework, parking, multiple 4-pump fuel islands, and a salt/sand storage facility.
