Nunda Highway Garage

The Town of Nunda Highway Department had been operating with an outdated and undersized facility for more than 25 years.

The town received grant funding to improve the facility as well as an offer from a local business to purchase the existing highway department site and building. This presented the potential to secure a new location that would be centrally located and more appropriate for the town’s highway department operations.

The Town of Nunda selected MRB Group to provide building programming and a site feasibility study for the new Hay Road property. The study confirmed that the site could feasibly accommodate a new highway garage facility. However, the need to bring utility services to the site—approximately ¼ miles—presented a costly challenge.

In order to help the town reduce project costs, the design team eliminated the expense of an automatic fire suppression (sprinkler) system and a fire pump by subdividing the space into 5,000 sf maximum fire areas.
