Humane Society Building in Saukville Chosen as 2011 Top Project

The Wisconsin Humane Society-Ozaukee Campus building in Saukville is among 30 projects completed in the state of Wisconsin that were chosen as Top Projects of 2011 by The Daily Reporter newspaper.

The 22,000-square-foot shelter in Saukville saw completion last Spring, and is able to house 50 dogs, 80 cats and a handful of small animals, according to Director of Program Services for the Wisconsin Humane Society Beth Maresh. The building also features eco-friendly construction.

According to a press release from The Daily Reporter:

These exemplary projects were selected from more than 100 submissions, and will be honored at the Top Projects awards dinner to be held May 3 at The Garage at the Harley-Davidson Museum. The winning projects will be profiled in a special May publication of The Daily Reporter.

Construction industry professionals across the state trust the annual Top Projects list to provide a snapshot of the health and success of Wisconsin’s construction industry. 

This year’s winners include four "Green Projects," selected for their efforts to recycle construction waste and promote sustainability in building. These projects are recognized with help from WasteCap Resource Solutions. The Top Projects of 2011 were selected by the editors and publisher of The Daily Reporter newspaper, and are based on a number of criteria, such as: a commitment to sustainable construction, positive impacts on the surrounding area, innovation and more.
