Frick, Frick & Jetté Architects provided architectural services to design this 44,500-sq.-ft. maintenance and operations building for the City of La Mesa. With the consolidating of multiple locations to a single facility, the City realized increased productivity. Programming was completed with extensive coordination between the City’s many user groups. Working closely with the different departments allowed the design team to create a more efficient facility by identifying and utilizing overlapping functions, thereby streamlining the need for adjustments during the construction phase.

The facility’s traditional exterior design compliments the local architecture, while the building’s consolidated design creates a welcoming and inviting environment, and provides a secure and efficient facility for its occupants.
