South Bend Transpo

The new Emil “Lucky” Reznik Center to be located in the new Studebaker redevelopment will provide Transpo with a much needed state of the art maintenance and operations facility. The initial project includes an administration and operations wing, a high tech maintenance facility, and an enclosed bus storage area for a seventy six bus fleet with fuel, fare and wash functions.

The design is functional, iconographic and environmentally friendly, addressing the requirements of operating with efficiency, durability, and safety, and with a sense of pride and civic duty. The Transpo building and landscape will be holistically unified by scale, forms, materials, textures, articulation and design concept to create a dynamic aesthetic, and functionally superior facility that is of its place and time. The new Transpo facility carries the lofty goal of becoming the first transportation facility in the country (possibly the world) to attain the prestigious LEED Platinum certification.
