Key project elements
• Architectural design
• MEP services
• LEED documentation
• Energy modeling
• Environmental assessment
level of services standards on many county roads. The facility will be centrally located within the county and will serve as a
hub for a variety of modes of transportation for residents and visitors alike. The station will facilitate efficient transfer
between transportation modes including pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles and the County bus system, as well promote the
county’s initiative to provide clean, safe, and affordable transportation to its citizens.
The CAT Intermodal Transfer Station will be an in-fill facility with modern, high quality amenities and level of service at the
existing Collier County government center courthouse annex parking garage. Architectural features of this project will
include a passenger platform, passenger waiting areas, restrooms, customer service and ticketing, driver’s lounge, staff
restrooms, administrative offices and storage, benches and trash receptacles, and an information kiosk.
The site design for this facility will provide a busway with turn around, six saw tooth configured bus berths, retention pond
enlargement/modifications, and relocation of existing underground infrastructure. Landscaping around the entire site
effectively addresses the edges of pedestrian walks along the project site and areas immediately adjacent to the passenger
platform. The landscape architecture design added plants and tree density that appreciably soften the hard visual edges of
the busway, parking garage, and buses to passengers and the surrounding community and provide additional shade for
pedestrians as they make their way to the new station.
The building will be designed to comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and reduce the energy consumption by at least 10
percent as compared to a building that simply meets code. Strategies to reduce energy consumption include increased
insulation, high-performance low-emissivity glazing, and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment. This design will
reduce the amount of energy used for interior lighting and occupancy sensors will be included throughout the building to
further reduce lighting power consumption. All appliances included in the project will be ENERGY STAR® rated whenever
applicable. This facility will be the first Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified project for Collier
County government; the current goal is gold level.
The site selection component of this project was an integral part of the site planning exercise conducted by the project
team. Several project site and site plan alternatives within the project parcel were reviewed and given consideration in the
areas of the overall building program, alignment with LEED certification goals, impacts to existing underground
infrastructure and retention pond, stormwater management complications that were overall government complex-related,
and offsite access for the bus traffic and operations. Permits secured for this project involved the following agencies: South
Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Agency, Florida Department of
Transportation, and Collier County.
