Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office

McFarland, Wisconsin | 29,000 SQ. FT.

This 29,000 sq. ft. new facility provides office and laboratory space as well as program space for Dane County Public Safety Communications (911) and Disaster Recovery Data Center. The one story, masonry and metal clad steel framed office/laboratory integrated a pre-engineered metal garage component. The arrangement of the program functions and building infrastructure is designed to accommodate potential future expansion while the facility would remain operational during expansion. The design incorporates access to natural daylight to support staff well-being supplemented by energy-efficient light fixtures. Uniquely, the building systems utilize on-site renewable energy systems with waste heat from the landfill and the installation of 65 KW of photovoltaic cells on the roof. The integrated design process includes commissioning. Construction completed in 2017. Our design team members include Czarnecki Engineering, SCS Engineers and JDR Engineering.
