Strang designed the Agora, which is located in the heart of Fitchburg Center, a mixed-use development surrounded by more than 400 acres of prairie, forest and wetlands. The 84,000 square foot project is comprised of three buildings linked by skyways and includes an underground parking facility. Classic materials including clay-tile roofs, cedar siding, expansive windows, copper elements and extensive stone masonry were used to construct the buildings. The center is home to the Promega Corporation, Kneaded Relief Day Spa and Wellness, Ecco Salon and Prairie Bean Coffee. The site also features a multi-purpose piazza and pavilion, which serves as a home for local farmers markets and summer concerts.
