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.
