Buncombe County Human Services Building Addition and Parking Deck

The Buncombe County Human Services building is located on Historic Coxe Avenue, Asheville’s first motor mile. The 49,000 square foot addition to the services building and 650 new parking spaces will better accommodate the current employees and their clients.

Due to the downtown project location, the limited site space has been a challenge during construction. Asheville is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so planning for winter conditions was not only necessary to stay on schedule, but to keep the project team safe and overcome other challenges the winter weather can bring during construction. We used our planning processes and best practices from previous projects to overcome these challenges and keep the project on schedule. Our scope included 8 floors of slab on metal deck and an 8 story cast in place parking garage.
