Nunnelly was selected as the best value general contractor to build the new John Igo Branch Library. The structure included a suspended slab with a pre-engineered metal building. The building incorporated several green building concepts and also included a custom large steel windmill art piece built by local artist James Hetherington. The custom art contained a large turbine and used wind to produce electricity for the library’s consumption. In addition to the library space, admin /offices, meeting spaces, conference rooms, and a water feature through century oaks located behind the library. When the project initially bid to the market it came in significantly over the projected budget. Nunnelly’s preconstruction team provided a list of cost saving ideas which were accepted by the owner bringing the project within the original budget.
