FEH designs second Vision Iowa project
Posted: Sunday, March 11, 2007
The $20.5 million Bridge View Center designed by FEH Associates Inc., officially opened its doors for a New Year’s Eve 2006 celebration.
FEH’s second Vision Iowa project, Ottumwa’s Bridge View Center received $7.5 million in Vision Iowa support for construction of the 50,000 square foot convention center and performing arts theatre.
FEH, an architectural-engineering firm in Sioux City and Des Moines, was also the lead architect for the $53 million Tyson Events Center/Long Lines Family Rec Center in Sioux City, which benefited from $21 million in Vision Iowa funding.
FEH was hired to design the Ottumwa’s new facility in June 2003. Built with the center’s lobby overlooking the Des Moines River, Ottumwa’s Bridge View Center occupies the former site of the city’s Coliseum. The new facility’s design incorporates walls and a stained glass window saved during demolition of the 1935 building.
FEH also was recently selected to design a new fire station for the city of Milford. The firm will provide design and construction administration services for the new fire station expected to be built near the city airport.
Preliminary plans include an expanded fire station with drive-through apparatus bays. Design will be completed this spring with construction expected to start in 2007.
FEH other fire station designs include Sioux City’s two newest fire stations, Fire Station No. 3 in the Greenville area, and Fire Station No. 5 near Lakeport and Singing Hills Drive. FEH’s renovation of Sioux City Fire Station No. 6 later was selected the 2002 recipient of the Preservation At Its Best Award by the Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance. Recently, FEH completed the renovation and 6,100-square-foot expansion of the Spencer Fire Station in Spencer, Iowa
