City of Davenport

21,000 sq ft Bus Storage Building | Davenport, IA

Keeping diesel busses warm in the winter isn’t just nice, it’s a necessity. This bus garage does the job with R-25 insulation and a great design.

The Rundown

The city of Davenport, Iowa, uses a fabric structure as a city bus barn. The municipal building uses R-25 insulation and a skylight to control ongoing energy costs. Multiple overhead doors make it accessible by bus and staff.
