New library made of rammed earth construction

From the Wyoming Casper Star Tribune 3/24

"The new wing under construction at the Sublette County Library represents a groundbreaking project for the community -- literally.

The $5 million addition is being built out of dirt.

Dirt from nearby Cora, to be exact.

The first-ever rammed-earth public building in the nation will complement Pinedale's decade-old library when the expansion project is completed in March 2009, library officials said."
