Project Name: Puget Sound Energy Puyallup Service Center

Project Statement: Puget Sound Energy wished to replace their existing 1960’s era Puyallup Service Center to provide a modern, functional office and operations facility for PSE and their associate utility partners. The project entailed a phased demolition of 21,712 Sq. Ft. of existing office, facility workshops, and storage spaces. The new service center consists of a 2-story 19,419 Sq. Ft. office building, 12,214 Sq. Ft. line building and a 1,971 Sq. Ft. secondary structure and covered area.

PSE wanted contemporary light-filled spaces that took into account their current branding standards and translated them into the work areas for an employee-centered approach. A clean, classic industrial aesthetic showcases exposed steel brace frames, beams, and fasteners. Wood accents throughout add warmth while the bold accent colors tie back to the corporate standards. The office building has 3,400 Sq. Ft. of open office space on each floor, with supporting conference rooms, focus rooms, break areas, print/copy rooms, and locker/restrooms. The first floor also includes a covered area for the main entry stair and ramp, a patio adjacent to the breakroom, and a crew and dry room with direct access to the line building dock. The second floor also includes a storm control center, dispatch, and call center. The adjacent line building has parts storage, wire shop, and various user group workshops, all of which will be served by an adjacent covered loading dock that provides efficient coordination among user groups. To enhance coordination efficiency between the office building and the line building, the first floor of the office building is elevated to dock height.
