As the Wisconsin State Fair wraps up for another year, we're looking back at a visit that was equal parts fun and fact-finding. Our team walked Wisconsin State Fair Park alongside Zimmerman Architectural Studios, Inc. and GH2 Architects LLC and while the cream puffs and Giant Slide are hard to beat, we may have been paying a little more attention to the infrastructure.
Harwood is part of the design team selected to help reimagine Wisconsin State Fair Park's agricultural facilities. The project will consolidate the Swine Barn, Sheep/Goat Barn, Farm and Family Building, and Poultry & Rabbits tent into one modern, flexible facility operating year round.
Behind the scenes, our engineering team will help bring it all together — from new water, sewer and electrical infrastructure and stormwater management to HVAC, lighting, and specialized agricultural systems designed to meet the unique needs of Agriculture Village.
The goal is simple: infrastructure that works just as hard as the people who make Agriculture Village happen.
