# WMATA Bladensburg Bus Garage Replacement

**The Bladensburg bus facility, one of the oldest in WMATA’s system, is being replaced with a new state-of-the art facility and parking garage. SYSTRA, a member of the design/build team, is the electrical and communications designer of record and responsible for systems integration and safety and security certification. **

SYSTRA’s design, being performed in BIM, will feature key plan drawings of
copper and fiber optic infrastructure, locations of local area network switches,
rack layout drawings, CCTV headend/local distribution/hardware attachment
drawings, public address system headend/hardware attachment drawings, and
emergency telephones.

In addition to modernizing the facility, the team is also preserving a historic
landmark while improving essential bus operations and maintenance for a fleet
that provides much-needed transportation to passengers throughout the
Washington, DC, metro area. The work is being carried out via a three-phased
demolition and construction process that will allow the facility to remain open
during modernization.
