New municipal building for Ogunquit honors historic elements from former school
RENDERING / COURTESY LANDRY/FRENCH
Ogunquit's new police station is projected to be completed in late November.
Scarborough-based Landry/French Construction is in the midst of a multi-phase redevelopment of the town of Ogunquit’s municipal campus.
Currently under construction on School Street is a four-story 20,000-square-foot building that will combine headquarters for the police as well as town offices.
For police operations the new building will include secure, purpose-built spaces including interview rooms, an armory, fitness room, administrative offices, and sleeping quarters. The town offices will have public service areas, a town vault, conference rooms and offices.
Landry/French said construction of the $9 million project is targeted for completion in late November.
Denis Garriepy, chief operating officer for the firm, told Mainebiz that one of the highlights of the project was the repurposing of an historic entry door and ornate half-circle window rescued from the 117-year-old Ogunquit Village School which had stood on the new building’s site. The school was demolished last year.
“The historic elements were carefully removed, preserved, and then later restored and reinstalled by Landry/French’s self-perform group,” Garriepy said.
The next phase will include renovations to the adjacent 14,260-square-foot Dunaway Community Center, new playgrounds and a basketball court.
The design team for the project includes Portland-based Port City Architects and VHB civil engineers, which has offices in South Portland, Augusta and Westbrook. Site work was performed by Kennebunk-based Brex Corp.
