C.W. Driver has been named construction manager for the City of Beverly Hills Public Works Warehouse and Shops project, a $7.8 million expansion plan to be located at 9357 Third Street near Civic Center Drive in Beverly Hills.
When completed in January 2013, the facility will become an essential services facility that will allow the City’s maintenance and communications departments to operate in case of an emergency or natural disaster. C.W. Driver has begun working with RTK Architects on the pre-construction phase for the project.
The Public Works Warehouse and Shops additions will be built on the vacant portion of the existing Public Works property and consist of a two-story plus basement, 21,000-square-foot building, a tunnel under a roadway to an adjacent existing garage, and a contiguous 15,000-square-foot yard.
The building’s basement will be designed for storage, while the first floor will consist of trade shops and the second floor will contain staff offices and an emergency control center. In addition to the passenger elevator, the building will also contain a freight elevator, for both the basement and the first floor, and will be capable of supporting heavy loads.
