Western Springs

Public Works Facility

Cost of Construction: $1,248,685

Size: 7,020 SF New, 14,666 SF Remodeled

Status: Completed June 2002

Challenge/Goal: The Village of Western Springs Public Works Department had outgrown its current facility and needed to add space without interrupting day-to-day operations. To assist with the project, the Village received a grant for a portion of the work.

Solution: Working within the grant requirements, SRBL was able to design an addition onto the Village’s existing Public Works facility that increased the square footage by 33% to accommodate its full fleet. Working closely with the contractor, we were able to develop a phased plan that would not interrupt the Public Works Department’s daily operations.

Green 'Till it Hurts

The Challenge: Without initial clear and measurable sustainable goals, how can a building be "green until it hurts?"
The Solution: SRBL included several green features that lower energy and water usage and enhance efficiencies.
