Cheyenne council reviews conceptual plans and timeline for municipal building renovation
Summary
City designers and public-works staff presented a conceptual renovation to Cheyenne’s municipal building and a new council chamber, citing decades-old systems, ADA gaps and security needs; acquisition of an adjacent council building hinges on a HUD review and the project’s schedule remains contingent on that process.
Cheyenne officials presented conceptual plans on Jan. 30 for a major renovation of the municipal building and a new council chamber, saying decades-old mechanical, electrical and accessibility systems no longer meet the city’s needs.
"This building was built almost 50 years ago, and it has had no major renovations," said Vicky Nemechek, director of public works, listing inconsistent HVAC performance, an elevator that has been inoperable because replacement parts are no longer produced, electrical capacity limitations and plumbing coupler failures as drivers for a full renovation.
Design teams led by Britt Morgan, vice president of Plan 1 Architects and the firm’s Cheyenne office lead, and Krista Plaza, president of Vicenza Architecture, walked the council through site plans, floor-by-floor layouts and an overall schedule. Morgan said the team validated a prior spatial analysis with employee surveys and department-head meetings and will produce a conceptual cost estimate in February that includes soft costs omitted from earlier work.
