Otsego Public Works was designed as a new facility:

32,750 square feet
Completion in January of 2007
Construction cost: $3,947,344

This project includes the design and construction of a new 32,750 sq. ft. public works facility.  It consist of an 18,300 sq. ft. vehicle storage space, a 2,300 sq. ft. vehicle maintenance bay, a 1,200 sq. ft. welding bay, a 700 sq. ft. tool crib, a 1,650 sq. ft. wash bay, a sign shop, and 4,300 sq. ft. of office space (which includes employee locker rooms and a multipurpose room).  The second floor consists of 4,300 sq. ft. of future office space.  It is anticipated that the city hall will relocate employees to this space in the future.

The City toured a number of Oertel Architects' other public works facilities during schematic design.  The one feature that stood apart in all of these facilities was the emphasis on natural light, especially in the shop, maintenance, and vehicle storage areas, areas which have been largely neglected in years past.  Incorporating this aspect was one of the driving forces for the final design of the facility.
