Architectural Excellence : This distinctive building was designed for a lake resort and camp ground. It has a Laundromat and convenience store featuring a fast food restaurant and gas station with above ground storage tanks. The separate Laundromat entrance allows for 24 hour use. Gondolas are stocked with a variety of food and sundry items for dispensing to the public. The refrigerated dispensing area allows for diverse and well stocked product availability without staff assistance. The fast food counter and serving area are easily accessible. Access to the interior is through an automated double glass entry door. Automated gas pumps are set from the cashier inside or at the pump with a credit card. Restrooms are conveniently located inside the store and include ceramic tile. The suspended ceiling and FRP wall coverings were factory installed to minimize cost on site. The entry canopy attaches to the stucco finished exterior walls that feature a parapet to mask the roof mounted HVAC system.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : Zoned lighting, increased insulation factors, white reflective roofing, tinted and insulated glass windows and a crawl space foundation add to the cost effective use of this building. The exterior stucco added insulation. Gas water heaters are utilized to maximize the efficiency of the Laundromat and fast food areas. Pac-Van partnered with a local general contractor to complete site work and the installation of gas pumps. This allowed for convenience and efficiency in obtaining permits and the expedient completion of the project. The building can be easily relocated and since it is situated on leased land, this was important to the end user. The total project cost yielded a 40% savings to the customer over site built construction methods. Also, the cost of engineering was minimized since the building is pre-approved by the State and engineered at the factory. The innovative use of computers to monitor and operate systems within the building ensures the best use of energy and security.

Technical Innovation : By combining uses in this efficient building, the owner has maximized return on investment. Modular construction saved 1/3 of the cost of site built. The use of automated doors, increased R-values and insulated glass throughout allows cost effective operation for years to come. The large windows allow the clerk visibility of the gas pump area for effective service to the customers. Since this facility is located on a lake, above ground storage tanks were used to avoid time consuming approvals from building officials and environmental authorities. Site lighting was achieved through fixtures attached to the exterior walls and controlled from the interior. A sub-grade foundation was chosen for accessibility from finished grade and sidewalks that adjoin the city streets. White reflective EPDM Roofing was chosen due to the harsh desert climate of the area. To save the expense of a larger crane, two smaller cranes were used to crane the modules to the foundation.
