Project Description:
The UMD golf course maintenance facility is functional but outdated and disorganized. The current washpad is a sloped dirt area that exhibits severe erosion due to the near 150 gallons of water used to wash golf course maintenance equipment daily. This water carries grass clippings, oils and pesticides and goes untreated into the surrounding environment. Further, existing sheds are run-down and do not fully contain all equipment. Ultimately, current practices no longer meet modern needs, and the client sees an opportunity to improve the site through an environmentally-focused redesign.
