作为亚利桑那州最大的入境港口，Mariposa可容纳150万辆以上的车辆和40％从墨西哥进入美国的产品。到2014年的1.87亿美元扩建项目达到完成时，建筑工程将该设施的大部分运营领域翻了一番。
该项目包括拆除和建设所有设施，包括检查区域，新管理大楼，行人加工设施，新的犬狗窝和其他支撑结构。
该港口以铁路开关场进行建模，由四个平行的线性区域组成，用于管理由沙漠花园分隔的车辆交通。预计进入港口将通过各种策略来实现LEED黄金，其中包括包括100万加仑地下水箱的雨水收集系统。
The construction team phased the project, centering on expanding the port’s 43-acre footprint without impacting traffic operations during Phase 1. With the site expanded to its final limits so early in the schedule, Phase 2 included relocating key inspection facilities and a doubling of commercial inspection capacity three years before the overall project completion.
The construction of a new, 7,200-sq-ft vault for confiscated items was specifically targeted by Best Projects judges as a significant achievement. It was the first such vault to be commissioned by the General Services Administration immediately upon completion. Previous certifications of similar vaults took more than one year after completion. The team faced specific challenges only prevalent in a vault setting, including the operation of a bank-type vault door, line of sight cameras and the balancing of the HVAC system. The plan for constructing the vault involved four phases, with the existing vault decommissioned and demolished prior to the start of the next phase of work.
该团队对附近承包商院子的各种建筑物外部元素进行了全面的模型。模型被打孔，然后用作整个项目中质量标准的基线。
作为此模型的一部分，团队发现了开放的Web托梁穿透性，这些托梁在防水方面存在问题，使他们在建筑物上的每一次渗透中都增加了施工后的水测试，以确保安装满足性能要求。
在重建设施，海关和边境巡逻队的重建方面，该设施的任务从进入该国的交通扩展到了检查该国的交通。这一更改为该项目增加了1000万美元。Stantec和Jones Studio动员了实施其他工作。
Paul Andrade, General Services Administration project executive, says the project provided “a world class facility that deserves distinction.”
