Akron Township Hall

In 2014, the rural community of Akron Township in Tuscola County acquired a former restaurant building and property along M-25 near Unionville with the intention to renovate it into a new hall and offices for Township officials. The 1,900 square-foot building had been out of service for some time, and there were a few issues with its adaptive reuse as a township hall. Spicer Group completed an evaluation of the original structure and made recommendations for updates that would be needed to accommodate new staff and serve the Township’s administrative operation needs. The Township moved forward with these recommendations, which included a complete renovation of the existing building and the addition of 1,040 square feet of meeting space. New walkways and a crushed limestone parking lot were also installed. Spicer provided the design for the improvements and also assisted with bidding and construction administration.
