Sustainable Design
Frisbie Architects designed the new 26,850 s.f. River Falls City Hall, which just completed construction and city employees moved in May 1, 2009. The project re-develops a site near the Kinnickinnic River. The building is designed to be energy and operationally efficient, environmentally responsive, and “citizen friendly.” It houses the city’s public and employee work areas, including administration, engineering, finance, community development, cable department, as well as the city court and council chambers.
The building is a LEED-registered building; its energy-efficient features should qualify it for a Silver LEED Certified building. The commissioning and documentation process will occur over the next ten months. The project removed existing buildings, vacated a street, and created green space to connect people to the river.
