Confluence and Character

TFC Architecture Mission and Vision

Chelan County PUD (CCPUD) had reached a confluence of challenges for its facilities in Wenatchee and needed a generational approach to investing in the future. The programmatic requirements (over 40 departments & work groups) and decentralized conditions required existing building and site conditions investigations and multiple development scenarios. In search of greater productivity, better customer access, improved employee safety, and economically manageable for the next 50-100 years, CCPUD selected a consolidated facilities option.

Heavily inspired by the new site location – positioned where the Columbia and the Wenatchee Rivers converge – TCF readily embraced Confluence as an overarching project concept. Confluence inspired the layout of the campus, which takes full advantage of gently sloping topography as the land drops off towards the river at its southern boundary.

Confluence also describes the merging of staff and resources into one dynamic, centralized home for nearly 600 personnel. This confluence of perspectives blended “tried & true” with “fresh & new” as the larger complexity of a 300,000sf program was organized and integrated as pieces of a greater whole, each contributing to the vision and mission of CCPUD.

From day one, the goal has been to create an enduring project of civic quality that authentically reflects the Chelan County region and CCPUD’s “customer-owners”. The project seeks to balance functional efficiency, new technologies, and meaningful artistry to become a model of stewardship and pride for the entire county.
