Supervisors discuss annex exterior options

GRUNDY CENTER — Plans for Grundy County’s new annex building are quickly taking shape. Monday, AHST Architects Mardy Holst and Jacob Bauer discussed those plans with the Grundy County Board of Supervisors, including the first looks at what the building’s exterior could look like.
    Holst presented five renderings of possible looks, ranging from a very simple look with a slanted roof to a building with several different outcroppings and roof surfaces. Each of the renderings show a building with limestone and brick that would blend in nicely with not only the Courthouse but also the nearby Kling Memorial Library.
    The simplest of the five options was quickly ruled out, with Holst noting that it might be too simple to be effective. Supervisors were split among the other options, with most preferring a look that includes a roof with a hangover as well as pillars on the north side facing the Courthouse. Supervisor Chair Mark Schildroth advised Holst to return with a proposal for the Board.
