Facility Operations The facility will operate 24/7 to support delivery of packages to customer locations between 11:00 AM and 9:00 PM. The user anticipates approximately 21 semi -trucks delivering packages to the station each day, primarily between the hours of 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Customer packages are sorted, picked and placed onto movable racks and staged for dispatch. Approximately 102 employees support this operation. The shift structure is designed between 2:00 AM and 12:30 PM to mitigate traffic impact during rush hour periods. Additionally, there will be approximately 33 managers and dispatchers supervising the operations, arriving at 6:00 AM and departing at 2:30 PM followed by another shift of dispatchers arriving at 1:30 PM and departing at 10:00 PM. The delivery associates arrive at a delivery station at 9:20 AM. Starting at 9:50 AM and ending at 11:30 AM, 344 delivery vans will load and depart from the station at a rate of 72 vans every 20 minutes to facilitate a regulated traffic flow into the surrounding area. The 1st wave of delivery vans leaves at 10:10 AM. The departure window is designed to mitigate impact on rush hour periods. Approximately 8-10 hours after dispatch, delivery routes are completed, and the vans return to the station between 7:10 PM and 9:10 PM. The drivers park the delivery van onsite and leave using a personal vehicle or public transport. Building Materials/Design In general, the proposed building is intended to be painted load bearing precast with additional higher finish materials around the main building entry including metal panels and large glazing areas. The main entrance is on the east elevation and utilizes large glass storefronts and one large entrance canopy clad with metal panels to give that fagade variation in material and massing as well as provide protection from the elements. The east office elevation will feature large storefront windows bringing daylight into the office space and creating an attractive, balanced fagade. Painted accents have been added along with vertical and horizontal reveals at the upper precast panels to suggest a continuation of a second story office. Reveals are used throughout the design to add additional texture and scale. Attached to the south elevation will be a large canopy to protect the van loading area from the elements. This canopy will help break up the elevation by creating a nice sense of human scale on this elevation. Materials for the canopy will be standing seam metal roof and metal fascia to compliment the finish and colors on the main building. The walls for the building will be load bearing insulated precast concrete. These walls will have an attractive finish utilizing multiple paint colors, are energy efficient and provide durability. The majority of the fagade will be painted precast in two shades of gray with an accent band at the parapet as well as metal detailing. Rooftop Units Rooftop units will be placed near the center of the building to get these out of sight lines from public view. Parapet heights will be provided at a height that should screen any of these units from view. A site line analysis will be performed during design to identify any additional screening needs.
