Laramie County Library
Cheyenne, WY
This new library for the Laramie County Library System in Cheyenne, Wyoming has been over ten years in the making! In November of 2003, the voters passed the “sixth penny” tax to allow for the raising of money to build this beautiful new facility. FCI’s pre-construction efforts began in October of 2005, with a ground-breaking ceremony in March of 2006. The three-story, LEED Gold Certified building was complete and ready for patrons in August of 2007. The structure is steel on drilled caissons with masonry and stone veneer, zinc panels, curtainwall and an EPDM roof. The project has obtained LEED Gold Certification which entailed the use high efficiency HVAC equipment, recycled content materials, low-water use fixtures, landfill waste diversion and indoor air quality requirements.
