Completed Fall 2009

Consultants:  Structural Engineer - Louis Shell Engineers, MEP Engineers - IBC Engineering 

Sustainable Highlights:  Super insulated roof, solar thermal rooftop array for primary radiant heat, local materials, recycled building, reduced impermeable site, recycled building materials, Solatube skylights and sunlight monitoring lighting controls, low-flow plumbing fixtures, etc.

The project entailed the adaptive re-use of a vacant grocery store that serves as a gateway building to the historic downtown of this northern Wisconsin community of just over 2,000 residents.  Studio NA took design cues from the community's interest in developing a progressive, sustainable vision for the community's future.   Local prehistoric volcanic trap rock was included in the concrete mix for the plaza pavement and retaining walls in addition to the polished concrete floors of the Library's interior. The primary heating source for this cold climate locale is a solar thermal rooftop array that provides primary heat for the building's radiant floors.  Sound absorptive hanging ceiling panels are cut from a topographic survey of the community's river valley.
