Oct. 24—EAU CLAIRE — David Delfosse describes the County Materials Complex as a "once-in-a-lifetime-type of project."

Delfosse, vice president of the architecture division at Eau Claire-based Ayres Associates, is the prime consultant on the project. He said one challenge was aligning multiple public and private stakeholders "that share many of the same goals but who also have their own unique needs and wants."
