Nakoosa Trail Fleet Fire Radio Shop Facility
MODERN UPDATED FACILITY WITH GREEN FEATURES
C. D. Smith Construction served as general contractor on the City of Madison Fleet/Fire/Radio Shop Facility. Four facilities were consolidated, representing the first facility update since 1954.
The new 110,000 SF facility provides light, medium and heavy vehicle service and repair in one location for the City of Madison’s fleet. Police, ambulances, fire apparatus, service automobiles, plow trucks, vans, garbage trucks, construction equipment and much more will utilize this high-tech, state-of-the-art garage, streamlining services and consolidating efforts and resources.
It was a goal to be future-forward on sustainable features as well as achieve LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Thoughtfully placed skylights and office windows along with dimming daylighting controls optimize natural light throughout the building. Foam insulation in the outside walls reduces heating and air-conditioning costs. LED lighting systems with motion sensors provide modern building efficiencies. Hot water piping in the floors was placed for efficient radiant building heat. Rooftop solar units provide hot water and building power. A sun wall incoming air tempering system was installed to preheat incoming cold air using less energy. Kaleidoscopic sun catchers amplify natural sunlight and convert it to energy to power the two charging stations in the yard that service City, employee and public vehicles.
Features include:
- 2 Large Equipment Lifts
- 2 Overhead Cranes
- 7 Smaller Lifts
- 25 Service Bays
- 2 Pressure Wash Bays
- Employee Offices
- Kitchenette Space
- Employee Locker Rooms
- Employee Lounge Space

Nakoosa Trail Media NEWS
Madison Centralizes City Service with LEED Gold Fleet Building | FacilitiesNet - Facilities Management New and Education 11.2023
When the City of Madison's Nakoosa Trail Fleet Facility building opened in late December 2020, it became the first LEED Gold-certified building of its kind.
THE BACKSTORY: Madison's planning process for this building was measured in years, not months. And the city engineering department designed it with LEED recognition in mind. A recent FacilitiesNet article elaborates on how the LEED Gold Fleet Building is maximizing efficiencies and helping the City of Madison achieve net-zero operations.
WORLD-CLASS CONSOLIDATION: The main fleet headquarters, radio shop and other maintenance and fleet service facilities were consolidated into one world-class location, representing the first facility update since 1954. The new 110,000+ SF facility provides light, medium and heavy vehicle service and repair for the City of Madison’s fleet. Police, ambulances, fire apparatus, service automobiles, plow trucks, vans, garbage trucks, construction equipment and more utilize the high-tech, state-of-the-art garage, streamlining services and consolidating efforts and resources. All of the agencies inside one building work together more efficiently and one central location is a money-saver, cutting down on travel, fuel and staff time.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT OPERATIONS: The fleet building creates energy savings in multiple ways. Here are just a few of the features mentioned in the latest FacilitiesNet article:
💡 Natural daylighting
🌡️ Radiant heat floor system
☀️ Solar energy for power, lights, heat and EV charging
But you don't have to take our word for it. City of Madison Fleet Superintendent Mahanth Joishy shares cost savings estimates and more sustainability details with stats and direct quotes in the article: Madison Centralizes City Service with LEED Gold Fleet Building.
