The project contains options such as: A) Laundry Facility; B) South Parking Structure; C) South Parking Lot; D) Maintenance Building and Fuel Storage Tanks; E) Fencing, Gates, and Guard Houses; F) Landscaping; G) Photovoltaic (PV) Panel at the North Parking Structure; and H) Water Tower and Water Tank.
