Facilities Master Planning and Design - Vision 2000, Port of Oakland

The Port of Oakland design team used an integrated "planning and analysis" approach to define the numerous issues for implementing its Vision 2000 Program. Once these issues were accurately defined and understood, the team developed design criteria to address the complex issues in a comprehensive manner. Master planning documents were created to solidify the overall project concept and to act as design guides for the various teams performing the detailed design tasks. The overall characteristics of the planning program are presented here in a series of drawings, diagrams, and photos involving: site conditions; existing building demolition and facility occupation schedules; major project components, planning elements and factors. The detailed design for the Berth 55/56 Terminal represents the culmination of the planning process. Some examples provided are: an overview of the Berth-55/56 Terminal configuration, Port-specific requirements, tenant-specific requirements, and details of how these requirements were integrated to achieve the design goals.
