Faribault public works was designed as a new facility:

84,500 square feet
Completion in September of 2007
Construction cost: $7,875,789

The first characteristic that visitors notice when they visit the new facility is an abundance of natural light.  The office area, vehicle storage area, and vehicle maintenance area are all flooded with natural light, so much so that artificial light is often not needed.  The new facility consists of an 11,000 sq. ft. vehicle maintenance area, a 46,700 sq. ft. vehicle storage space, a 2,200 sq. ft. vehicle wash bay, a 4,170 sq. ft. water / sewer department, a 2,300 sq. ft. sign shop, a 2,300 sq. ft. carpentry shop, a 4,500 sq. ft. parks shop and 9,450 sq. ft. of park and public works office space.  Located within the office / administration space is a 1,800 sq. ft. multi-purpose room that can be used for community meetings and training purposes.
