Plateau Travel Center

BBT provided design services to The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs for a new 13,300 SF travel center – the largest full-service travel center in Central Oregon. The travel center includes a convenience store, 70-seat restaurant, auto and truck fueling stations, and truck parking for 70 tractor trailers. The facility is built on tribally owned land on a 10-acre site and is strategically located near two busy highways. Along with providing visitors a convenient and comfortable stopover, the travel center is a catalyst for economic growth and development through the creation of more than 60 jobs for tribe members and the surrounding community.
