The city of Spruce Grove has doubled in size since 1988 and quickly outgrew the existing public works facility. This new facility currently under construction "will offer staff a healthier, more modern working environment with natural light, efficient layout, and room to function and grow." As part of the modernization, the City approved the installation of a geothermal system to serve the office portion of the building. An 18 hole geothermal system serves a distributed heat pump system within the office which provides comfortable heating and cooling for the occupants.
