The City of Beaverton replaced their existing pump station with a new, seismically-resilient pump station that houses maintenance facilities, a pump room, chemical systems, and a large meeting space with a control area, break area, and restrooms.
Tucked behind a residential neighborhood with a forested backdrop, MWA designed the new 5,000 SF building to blend into its surroundings using residential scales and natural stone materials.
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well Number 5 is a new above-ground steel tank that replaced the previous two larger concrete tanks (ASR Well Number 1). The new well will yield a total peak capacity of 2 million gallons of potable water daily, twice the previous tanks’ capacity.
The new operations building provides a welcoming meeting space for Beaverton’s City Utilities Department to host meetings. One City staff member shared, “Whenever we schedule a meeting, we all hope it is at this location. It’s the nicest space we have!”
