This new 95,000 SF Illinois Tollway maintenance facility sits on a 19-acre site that serves as a fleet hub, maintenance garage, and Illinois State Police office.
The facilities provide indoor storage for materials, equipment, and vehicles used by the Tollway for responding to roadway incidents, debris removal, snow removal, Highway Emergency Lane Patrols (H.E.L.P.), emergency repairs on the highway, and general roadside maintenance. It will provide an enclosed truck wash facility, as well as a salt dome, capable of holding 6,500 tons of salt.
The LEED Sliver facility features energy-efficient lighting, roof-top photovoltaic panels to generate electrical power, both in-floor radiant heat and overhead natural gas radiant heat to help reduce energy costs, as well as low-flow water fixtures and landscaping which requires little or no irrigation to limit water usage.
