Construction is underway on Skagit PUD’s Campus Replacement Administration Building Project. Comer General Contractors from Mill Creek was awarded the contract in August.

Back in 2017, the PUD hired Driftmier Architects to help determine the PUD’s need for a future headquarters facility. After exploring the feasibility of remodeling its existing facilities and options for relocation, the PUD Board of Commissioners determined that a new building was the most cost effective and efficient path forward. 

The new two-story, 23,000-square-foot building will house the Administrative, Engineering, Customer Service, IT, and Finance departments, as well as the board room, meeting rooms, and other supporting spaces. The facility is designed to accommodate future expansion for the relocation of the Operations department.

“In 2019, we started doing schematic designs of how we could redevelop this site to make it work for us,” General Manager George Sidhu said.

“We thought we had a good plan, but then the economics of the pandemic and wild inflation over the past few years changed our plans. But we adapted, and we kept moving forward.”

The PUD intends to occupy most of its existing facility but seeks a tenant for the building’s 8,500 square feet of vacated office space on the north side.

The new administration building is slated to open in early 2025. The projected total cost is $22.2 million.

During construction, customers conducting business on the PUD’s campus may experience heavy equipment traffic near its Freeway Drive entrance. Please use caution.
