Our President Norman Barrientos recently had the privilege of moderating a panel at the NAFA Institute & Expo in Cleveland, Ohio, one of the leading annual events for fleet administrators nationwide.

It was a great opportunity to facilitate conversation among fleet professionals and reconnect with valued clients, including Tracee Scott from the City of Las Vegas and Michael Naglieri from Davidson, North Carolina. The opening reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was another noteworthy highlight!

Events like this are a reminder of why we do this work. We truly enjoy connecting with the inspirational people who keep communities moving every day!

Across the country, public works agencies are operating out of aging garages that were never designed for today's fleet, workforce, or operational demands. The most common barrier to modernizing to meet these needs is funding.

Luckily, our team has great insights on how to overcome this challenge was was honored to share them at the Wisconsin APWA Conference in Brookfield. Our Operations Manager & Architect Patrick Wesley and Project Architect Isabelle Jardas delivered the seminar "Building the Business Case for a New Garage," providing practical guidance to help public works managers navigate the most common obstacles in facility planning - and actionable strategies for moving forward.

Barrientos Design is heading to Long Beach, California for the Government Fleet Expo 2026 and we're bringing a great team to the stage!

Our President and Principal Architect, Norman Barrientos, AIA, and Project Architect, Isabelle Jardas, will present alongside Bradley Northup from Carlsbad, CA.

Learn from our team on Tuesday, June 10 at 9:45 AM for "The Business Case for Building a Modern Fleet Maintenance Garage." If you're a fleet professional navigating the case for a new or renovated facility, this valuable session will shed light on what a well-designed O&M garage can actually deliver for your operations - helping you move your project forward with confidence.

The Government Fleet Expo runs June 9-12 and is one of the premier gatherings in the fleet industry. We are honored to be a part of it and hope to connect with you there!

Getting a new Department of Public Works garage funded starts long before the design process - it starts with making the case.

At the Florida APWA Annual Conference in Tampa, our President, Norman Barrientos, joined Kevin Brinkley of the City of Palm Bay to deliver the seminar "Presenting Your Capital Expenditure Request for a New DPW Garage."

Co-delivering this presentation with a practicing public works manager made all the difference, because the people making these requests deserve guidance from someone who has actually been in their seat.

Securing capital funding in the public sector is a real challenge, and we're glad to be part of the conversation that helps agencies build a stronger case.

Congratulations to our Architectural Intern Amiee Hanf on earning her Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee on May 16th!

Amiee joined our team earlier this year to gain hands-on experience as an Architectural Designer in practice. She has been integral in supporting our architectural and planning projects, contributing across all phases of design. Her work has included programming, schematic design, design development, construction document drafting, digital modeling, graphic production, and more.

We're proud to have been a part of Amiee's journey and we can't wait to see where her talent takes her next! Hats off to this very impressive grad! 🎓

"Your fleet garage is the biggest tool in the shed, so design it for high performance!"

This was the framing point our President, Norman Barrientos, AIA, brought to a packed room of fleet managers at the FLAGFA Spring Conference in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Norman's seminar, Aligning Facility Design with Your KPIs, explored how O&M garage design decisions directly impact the metrics fleet managers are held accountable for every day. When your facility is designed around how your operation actually works, performance follows.

Norman was thrilled to lead this discussion with professionals who understand that facility design isn't an afterthought - it's a performance decision.

At Barrientos Design, we value camaraderie and enjoy hosting regular outings to relax and celebrate shared successes with our team. 🙌

We recently stepped away from the drawing board for an evening of axe throwing and shuffleboard at NorthSouth Club, followed by great food and conversation at Merriment Social.

It was a fun opportunity to connect outside the office, enjoy some friendly competition, and spend time together as a team. 🎯🪓
