Minneapolis-based Stahl Construction, which has an Urbandale office, recently began work on the two-story, 55,000-square-foot Kirkendall Public Library in Ankeny. The new library will be located at 1250 S.W. District Drive in the Prairie Trail development and will provide new space for the rapidly growing northern suburb. Upon completion in the summer of 2019, the library will also house a new City Council meeting room and a multifunction sub-dividable meeting and conference room suite with movable partitions. Stahl is leading the construction project alongside OPN Architects Inc., the key designers of the facility. The library design will reflect the traditional Iowa town square model, with mixed-use space available for civic, commercial, residential, educational and retail purposes.
