A new library expansion is coming to Sun Prairie. Measuring 23,400 square feet, the new addition will add space for age-designated collections, youth programs, community gathering space, a media center, and will improve accessibility to the facility. The new main entrance leads into a curved glass atrium where residents can gather and meet. Glass windows, aligned on both the north and south sides of the addition, and skylights bring natural lighting into each room. Photovoltaic solar panels will be installed on the roof, harvesting daylight, and a geothermal system will heat and cool the building. The existing 35,500 square foot library is also scheduled to be remodeled. Split into four phases, the first phase will consist of constructing the addition, while the phases after that will make their way throughout the existing facility. Exterior site improvements consist of a new amphitheater, exterior patio, native plantings, and walking trails.
