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 facility has been maintained using operating budgets and CIP funds. In 2023, construction of our burn building to conduct live fire training evolutions and construction of a bathroom in the training facility will be completed. The CIP plan has been modified from the 2023 budget to provide a more comprehensive approach to creating a weather tight structure and address the distressed appearance of the structure. In 2024, the rusting pollution control structure would be removed (next to the recycling center), the first phase of the roof replacement, and door security system installation would be completed. in 2025, the second phase of roof replacement, replacement of exterior metal cladding, and first phase of electrical work would be accomplished. In 2026, the second phase of the electrical work, masonry repairs, window replacement and installation of translucent panels would be done. In 2027, funds are being allocated to enhance the fire training props within the building. This project is included in the city’s fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of April 2, 2024, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
