Alice and Jack Wirt Public Library, Bay County Library System
- Bay City, Michigan

Expanded services in a new central library facility were planned as part of the Bay County Library System expansion and the new Wirt Public Library was constructed on a primary downtown intersection in Bay City. The two-story library was intended to accommodate a wide variety of uses, including child, young adult, and adult library services; computer lab; local history and genealogy collections; system-wide administrative offices; public meeting rooms; and a coffee shop.

The exterior of the building pays homage to other significant downtown landmarks with its stylish use of stone, brick, and glass. The main entrance facade of the facility provides a backdrop to historic Battery Park. The park area is being redeveloped to create opportunity for large gatherings and significant downtown events, as well as continuing to provide a place for citizens and patrons to relax during their busy schedules.

FTC&H provided overall project management and all architectural development and engineering design services for the new facility, and has renovated other libraries within the system as a part of the Bay County Library System expansion.
