About the Project

The 8,991 square foot building is situated in the heart of downtown Elroy on Main Street. It is Gundersen’s only building that is 100% net zero, which means all the energy it uses is produced in sustainable ways incorporated into the building’s design. This includes: 16 geothermal wells that heat and cool the building, as well as solar panels on the roof that produce more energy than used. The new net zero clinic is slated to save the system $5.5 million a year in energy expenses and reduce harmful emissions by more than 80%. Besides being energy self-sufficient, the attractive building is the new cornerstone of the city’s downtown and the start of revitalization. The new clinic boasts 9 exam rooms, a pharmacy with retail, a lab, a procedure room, a large reception/waiting area with vestibule and a community room with separate entrance for the public to use for meeting space.
