Carnegie Place West Allis, Wisconsin Completion Date: 7/20/2003

PROJECT CHALLENGE:

To transform a vacant, historic 1914 library into an affordable assisted living residence for seniors.

 DESIGN SOLUTION:

In order to provide an assisted living alternative to the sponsor`s nearby independent living community, this vacant library structure was acquired from the community. A 1953 addition was razed and new apartments, enclosed parking and common areas were added in a new addition sensitively designed and detailed to match the existing structure. 14 assisted living residents are now creating a new chapter in the life of this historic structure.
