The Sheppard Motors multi-dealership development project features a new ground-up showroom and service facility for the Audi, Hyundai, Volkswagen and Volvo brands. The pre-engineered metal dedicated service building for Audi, Volkswagen and Volvo (35,500 S.F.) includes 38 service, alignment, tire & detail bays, electric vehicle battery storage, two-story parts department, specialty tool storage, tech lockers/breakroom, and car wash with a parts delivery covered drive-through. The building includes large low-speed ceiling fans, clear skylights, low-e insulated exterior glazing, and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.

The sales building includes dedicated sales and service customer areas specific to each brand. Hyundai has an attached 4-bay service department with dedicated parts department and electric vehicle battery storage area separate from the main service center. The second floor above Audi provides corporate offices, shared administration offices, training facility and conference/breakroom for sales staff. Facility design allows for maximum building system efficiencies, low-E insulated exterior glazing, EV charging areas and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.

Axis Design Group worked closely with the contractor and dealer team during design and throughout construction, keeping effective schedules and pro-actively communicating to ensure the project delivery remained on time and within budget. By responding quickly and efficiently to contractor questions and submittals during construction, Axis ensured construction continued unencumbered and without delays. Axis maintained a positive working relationship with the jurisdiction for the duration of the project, which allowed successful phasing plans to be adopted and implemented.
