The Indiana Toll Road Concession Co. handles the maintenance, emergency dispatch, weather preparedness, and toll payment services of the 156-mile segment of Interstate 80/90 that traverses Indiana. For decades, it operated out of a 1950s maintenance garage that had been converted into a disjointed oversized office space.
The new Indiana Toll Road (ITR) Administrative & Operations building occupies a site adjacent to Toll Road exit 92 in Elkhart, improving on/off access for emergency and maintenance vehicles. The more visible location is also convenient for the public who visit for payment services, and while about 60-80 employees work onsite, much more travel to the building for training, human resources, and other admin needs.
The new office was designed to achieve net-zero energy performance via a variety of sustainable features.
Baumann provided fundamental, enhanced, and monitoring-based commissioning services. The following systems were commissioned:
- Mechanical including HVAC&R equipment and controls
