Wisconsin Dells, Wis. – City officials, project partners, and community members gathered today to break ground on the new Wisconsin Dells Public Works facility, a state-of-the-art space designed to support the city’s growing infrastructure needs and day-to-day operations.
The approximately 70,000-square-foot facility will house a wide range of services and operational spaces including office areas, meeting rooms, locker rooms, storage areas, a fleet parking garage, vehicle maintenance and wash bays, workshops, and more. A new salt and sand storage building is also included as part of the project.
The building will serve as a centralized hub for public works staff and equipment, improving operational efficiency and providing long-term value for the community. Mezzanines throughout the facility will house mechanical systems and additional storage to serve multiple city departments.
The facility is being developed through a collaborative effort between the City of Wisconsin Dells and a dedicated project team that includes Owner’s Representative Eric and Lee Associates, architectural consultant Architectural Design Consultants, Inc., and general contractor Ideal Builders.
“We’re proud to partner with the City of Wisconsin Dells on this important project,” said Jason Bollig, President & CEO of Ideal Builders. “This facility will serve as a critical resource for the community, supporting the city’s public works staff and enabling them to continue providing essential services safely and efficiently for years to come.”
