Ann Arbor Paratransit
Ann Arbor ParaTransit is home to Yellow Cab, ParaTransit delivery, and other transportation services. The program called for an inexpensive office and auto repair facility that would still convey a sense of company quality and service. The offices were situated in a separate wing that screens the large parking lot and service bays from the street. Striated and scored concrete block for walls and red asphalt shingles with painted roof accessories create a very economical yet handsome building.
