DuDOT 1900 Building
DuDOT 1900 Building
R.M. Chin & Associates, Inc. (CHIN) provided owner’s representation and project management services for the DuPage County Division of Transportation (DuDOT) 1900 Building (Yellow Freight) Project. This multi-purpose building serves as a maintenance and storage facility essential for county operations. It houses people, equipment, and materials.
The project consisted of removing the existing Yellow Freight building currently being utilized by DuDOT for staging and storage, which included abatement. The site was completely redeveloped, including rework of site utilities, new pavement/parking, new storm sewer and detention basin, and new landscaping. The new building will be a Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB), that includes vehicle-heated storage, restrooms for DuDOT staff and separate restrooms for the DuPage County Sherrif’s Department, and a staff workroom. The site also includes materials storage bins and racks for storing V-box salt spreaders.
