TxDOT 973 Operations Center
Marmon Mok led the programming and design of the TxDOT 973 Operations Center, a new 73,000 SF facility tailored to meet the Texas Department of Transportation’s complex operational needs. The project began with a comprehensive engagement process and an in-depth evaluation of existing site conditions to inform a responsive and functional design.
The TxDOT 973 Operations Center includes administrative offices, conference and training rooms, and dedicated bay areas for fleet maintenance, vehicle fabrication, and equipment repair and testing to support mission critical operations during inclement weather. Specialized production spaces include a welding shop, sandblasting and paint booth, machine shop, and radio repair room.
Given the scale and demands of TxDOT’s vehicle fleet, the site layout is meticulously planned to optimize traffic control, access, maneuverability, and parking. The facility also includes a secure loading dock and enclosed storage area to streamline deliveries and enhance operational efficiency.
To ensure long-term durability and ease of maintenance, the design incorporates robust materials and flexible infrastructure systems suited to the daily wear of heavy equipment use. Utility planning was closely coordinated with the functional needs of each workspace, allowing for efficient power distribution, ventilation, and environmental controls across all technical areas.
