PROJECT:
Terrace Park, Agronomy Center
STATUS:
Design Development
LOCATION:
Cincinnati, Ohio

The Agronomy Center at Terrace Park Country Club is a thoughtfully designed maintenance and operations hub that supports the daily needs of a premier golf course. Located between holes 7 and 8, the facility balances functionality with seamless integration into the scenic Little Miami River landscape. The design addresses operational efficiency, sustainability, and long-term durability while minimizing visual impact on the surrounding course.

The program includes workshops, equipment storage, administrative offices, break rooms, and an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) building with a chemical mixing room and wash bay. These spaces are strategically arranged to optimize workflows, enhance safety, and support future growth. The design incorporates a central courtyard, offering efficient access for vehicles ranging from turf sprayers to 56-foot articulated trucks.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of the project, featuring green roofs for thermal insulation and stormwater management, photovoltaic arrays for renewable energy generation, and rainwater harvesting systems for equipment washing and greenhouse irrigation. Durable materials such as precast concrete panels and polished concrete floors ensure low maintenance while harmonizing with the natural surroundings.

Compliant with Ohio Building Code, OSHA, EPA, and golf industry best practices, the facility exemplifies operational excellence and environmental stewardship. This project embodies a commitment to sustainability and efficiency, seamlessly blending form and function to enhance the Terrace Park Country Club experience.

Team members involved include Federica von Euw, Andrew Tetrault, Isaiah Zuercher, Cooper Kadish.
