VDOT Salem Traffic Management Center
|
The new Salem Traffic Management Center serves as an around-the-clock-communication hub for a 29-county region in southwest Virginia. The center operates more than 70 information devices, such as message boards, cameras and Highway Advisory Radio transmitters. The new, 17,000 square-foot facility has two-stories with the first floor extended into the hillside allowing the second floor to exit at ground level. The operational center occupies the first floor with offices housed on the second floor. Environmental features highlighted in the project include a high efficiency heating and air condtioning ventilation system, low flow plumbing fixtures, a white Bondcote roof, daylighting, exterior light pollution reduction strategies, bike racks, rain gardens and segmental retaining walls. This project is a premiere example of sustainable design and green building strategies. Showcasing a myriad of principles and products that are intended to minimize the building’s environmental footprint, the Salem Traffic Management Center is a wonderful demonstration of the beauty and efficiency of a well designed and constructed green building.
