With <strong>the</strong> recent approval of <strong>the</strong> Madison City Council, Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) is moving ahead with <strong>the</strong> design of <strong>the</strong> City<br />

of Madison’s new Central <strong>Library</strong>. This will <strong>the</strong> second largest project in City of Madison’s history, budgeted at $37 million total<br />

cost. The Central <strong>Library</strong> will be built by a joint venture of Fiore Companies and Irgens Development Partners. Fiore Irgens<br />

Venture I, LLC, partnered with EUA to design <strong>the</strong> building and J.H. Findorff & Son to construct it. The Fiore-Irgens development<br />

proposal includes a whole-block redevelopment in <strong>the</strong> shadow of <strong>the</strong> State Capitol. Once <strong>the</strong> <strong>Library</strong> is relocated to its new location<br />

in 2011, design will begin on a 10-story mixed-use building in its place. This development is anticipated to include a parking<br />

structure for 400 cars, a 150-room hotel, 30,000 square feet of sidewalk-level retail, and an 80,000-squarefoot office building. Over<br />

100 laborers, carpenters, ironworkers and tradespeople spoke at <strong>the</strong> budget hearing on November 10. The construction trades are<br />

facing record unemployment and urged <strong>the</strong> Council to approve this project in order to create over 200 jobs. “This project is a rare<br />

and exciting opportunity for people who enjoy being Downtown in Madison,” said Steve Holzhauer, Managing Principal of EUA’s<br />

Madison Office. “We are privileged to create a landmark facility that will serve and inspire people for generations and will make<br />

downtown a better place visit, work and live. We are thrilled to be part of this renaissance.” Construction is scheduled to begin in<br />

2010. The project is certain to become a landmark in <strong>the</strong> shadow of <strong>the</strong> State Capitol. For more information go to<br />
