    • The City of Wilmington celebrates the completion of the new Cool Spring Reservoir and Gatehouse project with a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony. MGZA, architect of the new Gatehouse building was commended with the entire project team for work well done.

      Project Architect, Joe Tuschinski's daughter Samantha participated in the ceremony.

The City of Wilmington, Department of Public Works, dedicated the Cool Spring Reservoir project yesterday afternoon, celebrating the rebirth of one of the City's oldest and most pleasant parks. While greatly improving the technical capabilities as well as the security at the City's historic Cool Spring pumping station, the massive project also provides the entire community with an eco-friendly and beautiful parkland environment.

MGZA participated in the design of the winning competition entry with EDAW, Pennoni Associates and AECOM.

MGZA also designed the Cool Spring Gatehouse, housing the technical equipment associated with controls of the reservoir and pumping operations.

The project won an award from the Department of the Interior for its environmental sensitivity and sustainable technical design. Read more about the history of the Cool Spring Park.
