Site Plan for New Viroqua Library as Part of Complex of 4 Buildings


Library unveils initial site plans.  (Vernon County Broadcaster, 8/31/2011)

Excerpt: The McIntosh Memorial Library Task Force released site plans for a new complex that includes a library, senior center, business and civic center and Western Technical College at a public input meeting, Friday.

Approximately 80 people attended the meeting at 1:30 p.m., and an additional 30 made it to the 5:30 p.m. meeting.

The plan includes four buildings connected by a corridor of common space on the block where Western currently sits. Terry Martin of PSA Dewberry, the lead architect for the project, said the site was chosen because the library and Western could share programs and facilities, minimizing the cost of construction. Western also offered to participate in some cost sharing for the project, but that meant the library and college had to be physically connected.

The total project is estimated to cost $8 million. The library portion will be approximately $4.5 million. Each entity will fund its own portion
