Demolition, site work, paving, renovation and addition to a mixed-use development in Carlisle, Iowa. Completed plans call for the addition of a 6,500-square-foot library; for the demolition of a library; for the renovation of a 4,500-square-foot library; for site work for a library; sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

Project Scope: The project involves renovating and expanding the existing Parks & Rec building adjacent to the aquatic center. The renovation will cover approximately 4,500 square feet, while the new addition will add around 6,500 square feet. This updated facility will serve as the new home for the Carlisle Library. To accommodate the library's needs, the interior walls and mezzanine of the existing structure will be removed, creating an open, spacious layout. The design will emphasize the building's tall volume and incorporate new heating and cooling systems. Additionally, the project will expand parking on-site and integrate it with the existing aquatic center parking.
