Transit Facility
Whistler Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility was built to accommodate an expansion in the level of service, resulting in a growth of the transit fleet. The building was opened in late 2009, prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Omicron Architecture Engineering Construction acted both as design-builder and consultant for the 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) facility, which includes maintenance and administration buildings, refuelling stations and covered parking for up to 50 buses.
The project won the Canadian Design-Build Institute's 2010 first place award in the industrial category.

Famous quotes containing the words transit and/or facility:
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“In progress of time, when my mind was, as it were, strongly impregnated with the Johnsonian æther, I could, with much more facility and exactness, carry in my memory and commit to paper the exuberant variety of his wit and wisdom.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
