Adaptive Reuse in Phoenix, AZ at U-Haul at Dunlap & I-17

Building History
This former Phillips 66 service station was designed by renowned architect Clarence Reinhardt. Reinhardt was hired by the Phillips Petroleum Company to create a standardized design which incorporated popular mid century angular forms, as seen in cadillac tail fins and drive-up food establishments. Reinhardt claimed that an essential element of drive-in success was eye-popping architecture, so he thoughtfully integrated era appropriate butterfly canopies and slanted windows into the final gas station design.
U-Haul acquired the building in 1978 and now proudly offers truck and trailer sharing. Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction.
