Overview

The City of Scottsdale’s new Groundwater Treatment Plant at Pima Park includes site planning for several buildings and spaces: chemical storage, water filtration systems, control rooms, technical labs, and a workplace mezzanine overlooking the plant floor. The site design is informed by tight traffic flow off of Thomas Road, which includes City Bus access, alongside service vehicles. Key components involved intensive public participation with City of Scottsdale staff and addressing existing flood plain changes. Consensus occurred via thoughtful engagement with neighbors, close collaboration with engineers who led the project, and creating a quiet aesthetic addition to the neighborhood on the back of a utilitarian need.
