The original 1960s building was gutted to the original cast-in-place structure and fully renovated inside and out. An addition to the building includes a new atrium and curtain wall façade.

The completed building has increased efficiencies and improved office space for citizens and city staff, replaced and upgraded existing mechanical systems (heat, air conditioning and potable water and sanitary facilities), improved handicap accessibility to and within the building, improved security, & upgraded exterior building aesthetics.
