Rifle Parks and Recreation Building
Rifle Parks Maintenance Facility is a 13,485 SF building in two levels, composed of two parts. The administrative area use is 6,200 SF and a parks operations maintenance use area is 7,285 SF. The building will include space for shop, offices, storage, conference, training, and lockers.
13,485 S.F.split level facility has a garage area for maintenance of city park vehicles on one level and Parks and Recreation offices on the other. A 12' grade change separates the two areas. Additionally, there is a storage mezzanine framed with composite steel and concrete deck on load bearing CMU walls. The poor soils conditions necessitated the use of screw piles for the foundations. For durability, CMU walls were used in the garage portion of the building. Because a less industrial feel was desired, cold formed steel curtain walls were used to frame the exterior walls for the lower office level. The roofs were framed with steel bar joists supported on steel framing.
