Norman, Oklahoma
The City of Norman is in the process of a 35 million dollar upgrade to the existing water treatment plant. Barrett L. Williamson architects were selected to be part of a local engineer’s team to design a 2,600 sq. ft. addition to the administrative offices and a 3,200 sq. ft. maintenance facility. The design solution was developed to avoid large underground water lines so the building was skewed at an angle to resolve this challenge. The building features a lobby, reception, staff offices, control room and large training/conference room. The facility also has a rear covered deck to provide both solar shading and protection from the elements as the facility is open 24/7/365. Renovations were also made to the filter building, which is connected to the administration building via a “sky bridge”. Renovations included a new larger Bac-T lab and updates to the existing lab.
