Dixie Power Electric Cooperative
Settled inside of the Pine Valley Mountains at the convergence of the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau, and the Great Basin, the Dixie Power Electric Cooperative is an important part of the local community. The facility is open and inviting and its form is influenced by the surrounding terrain.
While the local community is an important part of any cooperative’s mission, Dixie Power takes their commitment to the city of St. George, Utah way beyond what many might expect. In designing their new facilities, it was apparent that creating an open, inviting presence with their customer service center was a top priority. A central commons area was designed to establish a connection to their members and to accommodate their biggest event of the year, the lighting of their community Christmas tree.
Settled inside of the Pine Valley Mountains, at the convergence of the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau and the Great Basin; careful consideration was given to this unique geographic combination so the style of the facilities reflected the natural surroundings. As these facilities are separated by a few miles, a consistent exterior image is necessary to provide brand recognition to the public.
