For us, great facility design starts with listening. Understanding how a facility operates, what challenges teams face, and what they need from their space is essential to developing a design that works in practice.

Our approach is systematic and informed by decades of experience in Operations & Maintenance facility planning, but every project is shaped around the specific needs of the people who will use the facility every day.

Thank you to Emil Norby for sharing his experience working with our team. We’re proud to build lasting relationships with the public agencies we serve and to bring a thoughtful, practical approach to every project.

We were proud to join the Alternative Fuel Facilities panel at the Sustainable Fleet Conference in Durham, NC. Our Principal Architect and President, Norman Barrientos, AIA, presented alongside fleet and transit leaders and educators from across the country.

Thank you to the NC Clean Energy Technology Center for hosting, and to moderator Anna Weitz for guiding the discussion. It was a pleasure to share the stage with:

👉 Rick Longobart, Fleet Operations Manager, City of Raleigh
👉 Clinton Bench, Director of Fleet and Transit, UCLA
👉 Christopher Facente, Dean of Skilled Trades & Transportation, Central Piedmont Community College
👉 Jay Perkins, Assistant General Manager, Director of Maintenance, Greensboro Transit Agency

The fuels a fleet runs on are changing, and the garages that house those fleets need to be planned with that in mind. Public agencies are already making these decisions, and we're glad to be part of the discussion.

Let's continue the conversation at www.barrientosdesign.com.

It was great to see you at PWX 2026!

📍 Houston, TX
📅 August 30 - September 2, 2026

Our President, Norman Barrientos, AIA, joined public works professionals at the American Public Works Association (APWA) national event to explore the latest innovations and design challenges in public works.

He spent time networking with public works peers and talking municipal infrastructure and facility planning with Sam Watkins of BRW ARCHITECTS, one of our project partners in Dallas.

Thank you to APWA for hosting. If we met you in Houston, we'd love to chat more! Drop us a comment about your favorite moment from the event. ⬇️

We had a fantastic evening networking at the American Public Works Association - Southern California Chapter event at PWX 2026 in Houston! 🤠

Our President, Norman Barrientos, AIA, caught up with old friends and met new ones, including our recent client, the City of Berkeley, represented by Joy Brown, Interim Assistant Public Works Director.

Joy and Norman also had a great conversation with James Hmielak of the City of Avalon on Catalina Island about Avalon's storied history.

Thank you to the APWA Southern California Chapter for including us!

Last month, our team headed to Houston for PWX 2026 to learn what's new in the industry! 📚

While we were there, we also had the chance to meet with some of our clients in person.

Our Project Architect Isabelle Jardas sat down with the Town of Quispamsis for a page-turn with American Public Works Association Past President Gary Losier and Mike Danells. It was great to have our team and clients all in one place!

It's great to see fleet management change in action!

We recently visited Justin Hightower and Christi Oca at JEA's Jacksonville Fleet Maintenance site and saw firsthand how Justin and his team are rapidly executing facility improvements bay by bay.

Justin gave us a tour highlighting the upgrades underway to efficiently support 400+ light duty vehicles. We also stopped by JEA's Southside facility to review plans for converting existing warehouse space into dedicated heavy duty repair bays.

Hats off to Justin and the entire team for an impressive vision, smart facility strategy, and seamless ex*****on to boost maintenance throughput across the fleet.

We've had a busy summer with new clients and projects coming on board across the country.

Our newest client is the Village of Howard, where we've been engaged to redesign their 26-year-old Public Works facility. A quarter century of wear and evolving operational demands means this project is a great example of why long-term facility planning matters from day one.

We're working closely with our engineering partner, Ayres Associates out of Green Bay, to bring this project to life.

Pictured at the DPW Garage: our Project Lead Josh Koch interviewing Village Public Works Director Geoff Farr, alongside Ayres' engineer Jason Monfils, as we gather the operational insight that will shape this facility's next chapter.

In August, the Barrientos team took to the water for a scenic outing on the Milwaukee River.

We set off from Pere Marquette Park aboard our pontoon, stocked with snacks and beverages hand-picked by our staff. From there, we cruised past the high rises of downtown Milwaukee, through the Historic Third Ward District, and out to the Lakefront Harbor.

Neil and Matt took turns piloting the boat, making sure everyone had a great view along the way.

On our way back to Pere Marquette Park, we were "invaded" by a flotilla of kayaks following a floating barge band. We happily waited for them to pass before docking.

After speaking at the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX), our Principal Architect and President, Norman Barrientos, AIA sat down with Nichole Osinski, the Executive Editor at Government Fleet. They addressed the most common - and costly - mistakes that fleets are making today, and how to avoid them.

Their discussion included:
☑️ How agencies can use operational data to build the case for a new or renovated garage
☑️ Tips for gaining approval and moving your project forward
☑️ Why fleet managers should stay involved throughout the planning process
☑️ How facilities can be designed to support the maintenance demands of tomorrow's fleet
☑️ The latest trends affecting fleet garage design

If you're planning a new or refreshed fleet facility (or wondering whether you should be), you won't want to miss this valuable conversation. Watch the full discussion here:
