White-Spunner Construction has completed the construction of the new community library in Foley in Baldwin County.
White-Spunner served as general contractor on the two-story, 40,664-square-foot facility, designed by Williams Blackstock Architects. The facility, located at 230 E. Orange Ave., is nearly double the previous library’s size and will serve as a public library and community gathering space.
At $20.5 million, the library includes an expanded children’s area, dedicated teen space, computer labs, study rooms and a STEAM lab, along with a dedicated space for special-needs programs. It also houses a multipurpose room with a 354-square-foot stage and telescopic seating for up to 277 people for events and gatherings.
“At White-Spunner, we believe the most important structures we build are the ones that serve people in a purposeful way,” said Francis Plough, project manager at White-Spunner Construction. “We’re not just celebrating a completed project but a lasting investment in the future of this community. This library will serve generations of Foley residents who haven’t even walked through its doors yet.”
