MEMORANDUM
PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY
Date: February 1, 2022
To: Mayor, Common Council and City Administrator
From: Craig Hoeppner, Director of Parks Recreation and Forestry
Re: Village Green Restrooms Preliminary Design Discussion
BACKGROUND
The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department is coordinating the design and construction of new restrooms
and permanent seating at the Village Green adjacent to the Etc. Building, 118 E. Wisconsin Avenue. These
public restrooms and seating areas will service the Village Green, Boardwalk and entire Downtown Area.
They are planned to operate year-round and will be open for specific times during the day/evening. Our goal
is to have the restrooms be as maintenance-free, vandal-resistant and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
DESIGN DISCUSSION
The floor plan shows four toilet fixtures and two sinks for each gender, a utility room, drinking fountain with
bottle filler and space for map/signage on the exterior. Other interior details will be determined such as hand
dryers, changing tables, partitions, flooring, etc.
Discussion items can include the floor plan and interior look, but we would like the focus of our discussion to
center on the exterior aesthetics. Over the past few months, many community members have reviewed
various exterior design options. The option provided is the one that has been refined based on this feedback
as it bests complements the downtown architecture and the Etc. building.
Your feedback and that of the Architectural Commission is valuable and will be shared with our architect to
create the final design.
