The Columbia Heights City Hall is the first of its kind in Minnesota; the City Hall that will be constructed within a residential housing development. LEO A DALY has assisted the City with design a new 20,000 SF facility which will sit at the prominent corner.
Located on the ground level, this new city hall maintains a direct and approachable entrance to the highly-traveled Central Avenue, making it more accessible to the citizens of Columbia Heights. LEO A DALY has designed the new city hall to allow large expanses of glass and provide as much natural lighting into the interior as possible. To address the security concern, a fritted film provided on the exterior glazing limits direct views into the work area by the public, but maintains a connection to the exterior. This new city hall includes space for the City Manager and Administration, Finance, Community Development and Planning, Information Technology, Surveying, large staff meeting spaces, file rooms, and work areas with a break room. Additionally, a fireside community meeting room, and a Council Chambers with high-end AV systems and an adjacent meeting/conference room for break out sessions separates the greater space by a sliding glass wall that opens directly into the Council Room for varied uses and flexibility.
