The Council Tree branch library at Fort Collin, Colorado, worth $1.6 million, has been completed. The 17,500 square feet library is located above retail shops in the Front Range Village shopping center at Fort Collins. The facility features a spacious meeting room, study rooms, and an open floor space designed in view of the changing needs of the family oriented facility. Environmentally sustainable construction practices incorporated in it made it a LEED certified building.
The Windsor-Severance Library District in Colorado has chosen Heath as general contractor for its $1.3 million project to add 11,000 square feet to its main library in Windsor. The additional space created will house library materials, a new children’s area, a teen area, a double-sided fireplace and an innovative drive-up service window. Construction is expected to be completed this month.
Heath has also been contracted by the State of Wyoming for a $3.1 million renovation of the old Cheyenne city library facility to create a modern, statewide research library and training center. Heath has transformed the building into a research library and training center.
The company ripped the interior walls of the 1967 building, removed the original boiler, heating vents and outdated electrical system. After the completion of the demolition process, it has started installing new heating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that meets client requirements for maintenance-free electrical and mechanical equipment.
The team has renovated the lobby to give it a retro look and placed donated furnishings from the 1950s. The construction is scheduled to be completed by spring 2009. The new training center and library will include training rooms, large open spaces for display of books and research materials, staff offices and space for updated computer and IT equipment.
