Sun Prairie Community Service Building
Sun Prairie, WIOn the fringe of Sun Prairie’s west side, the 54,000 sq. ft. community service building stretches across the agricultural landscape. This pedestrian-oriented design projects a sense of civic importance without being pretentious or stodgy. Its footprint captures qualities of both permanence and lightness with a planer composition of brick, stone, aluminum, and glass. The City’s fire, police and parks departments and emergency medical services (EMS) all share the boomerang-shaped facility, which is anchored by a voluminous 5,000 sq. ft. community room. In addition to office space for each department, a wide range of program elements includes an apparatus room, gear storage, watch room, and day room for the fire department, as well as sleeping quarters for the EMS team and a large sally port and holding rooms for the police department.
