This Paint Booth building is designed as a self-contained, cutting edge painting facility to paint WMATA's buses. The Paint Booth can also be considered as an equipment, with it's own functional systems built-in to include mechanical, electrical, lighting and fire protection systems, which optimizes it's functionality.
