Village Hall Recalls Midwest Town's Past While Also Readying It for The Future

摘要

While on the one hand giving a nod to the community's agricultural past, the new Vernon Hills Village Hall/Senior Center also says something about the Illinois town's future. The credit for designing a building that could successfully do both belongs to the Yas / Fischel Partnership of Evanston, IL. To portray the building as both traditional and progressive, the firm juxtaposed the wood siding and stone foundation on the administrative side of the building with sleek glass and metal at the entrance and on the council chamber side. Several metal products were used on the project, not the least of which were metal infill panels from Mapes Industries Inc., Lincoln, NE.
