HED and Celina have revealed the design for a brand-new government center and parking garage downtown. This new facility replaces the former city hall and will host administrative services and the community library, merging essential services into a single location. The change will make way for an expanded and enhanced downtown square, which hosts some of the city’s largest events.
The new multi-use center is planned to comprise about 28% library space, 16% office space, 16% collaboration space, 18% support space and about 22% social/special space. The “social/special” category will include incubator spaces, a roof garden, and a deli. The building will also include an inspiring central atrium, as well as a view of the roof deck which will include a catering kitchen and turf for rooftop events.
The building was carefully designed to incorporate space for all these desired programs without adding mass and floor that would overwhelm the scale of the downtown square. The facility is intended to be a friendly, year-round enhancement to the expanded square, bringing more people downtown with more event and service space.
