Renovation of a library in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a 40,000-square-foot library.

The Fire Department and Department of Public Works have been sharing the former Incinerator building as a training site for the Fire Department and a recycling center/storage site for the Department of Public Works. The CIP plan has been modified to provide a more comprehensive approach to creating a weather tight structure and address the distressed appearance of the structure. We have broken the roof replacement down into 2 phases. In 2026, we will complete phase 1 and phase 2 in 2027. In 2028, the rusting pollution control structure would be removed (next to the recycling center), replacement of exterior metal cladding, masonry repairs, and the electrical work would be accomplished. In 2029, funds are being allocated to enhance the fire training props within the building. This project is included in the City of Waukesha Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan. As of August 27, 2025, further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
