Join in building a legacy of community in Moorhead
The design was informed by community ideas shared during public outreach events.
A walking loop and year-round playground were especially prominent in the public’s input. The community was also excited about the Center for Entrepreneurship, which is funded by a federal grant.
Some exciting things that emerged from the design phase included:
Multiple amenities under one roof: The design work focused on creating spaces and places for everyone. The second floor is a fun/active zone while the first floor focuses on library/gathering/inspiration space.
Sustainability in design: Throughout the process, the Design Team has incorporated sustainability principles into the design.
Welcoming gathering space: Serving the entire community as well as the downtown, the location at the key intersection of 5 Street and Center Avenue will become a focal point for the downtown environment.
