Bobby Rahal Volvo/Jaguar/Aston-Martin Client Location Size Team Rahal Pine Township, Pennsylvania 60,700 SF The Owner acquired Jaguar, Volvo and Aston-Martin dealerships with the goal to construct a new sales and service facility which would provide brand identity for each manufacturer's automobile, while creating a single, unified facility design. The southern side of the two-story building contains the Volvo dealership; the northern is Jaguar and Aston-Martin. Each manufacturer has it's own design and detailing for their showroom; Volvo has an angular design concept, while Jaguar's is curvaceous. Sales and finance offices to the rear of each showroom serve the dealerships. Separate drive-through customer service canopies behind the sales area for each of the dealerships provide access to parts and service areas on the main floor. Shared offices for service representatives are located between the two customer service areas. A lounge and retail display is provided at each dealership in the customer service areas. Parts and service departments are located towards the rear of the building on the main floor. The Owner's offices, parts storage and employee areas are found on the upper floor. A separate carwash building was included in the plan with provisions for constructing a reconditioning shop. The structure incorporates masonry bearing walls, structural steel, precast concrete floors, and steel joist roof structure. The exterior materials are integrally colored concrete masonry, Alucobond fascia panels, and clear anodized aluminum storefront systems. Interior finishes include porcelain ceramic tile, sprayed-on multicolor finish, vinyl wall covering, aluminum storefront systems, and lay-in type ceiling systems. A high degree of finish quality and detailing was provided for all customer sales and service areas.
