City Hall and Plaza
External Renovation

Springfield, Ohio
 

Designed by s.o.m from Chicago, City Hall was originally built in 1979. Over the years, the building began to show the effects of its aging. The project consisted of four major components to bring a fresh look to the Core Block.

The IRMA Roof System was rapidly deteriorating and was replaced with a modified bittumen system over a new light weight insulating concrete fill.

The precast panels and columns were chemically cleaned and sealed against airborne particulates and pollution.

The underground parking garage had been leaking for years. New technology, although expensive, allowed for replacement of the water proofing system over 50% of the garage.

The building's brutal style of architecture was softened and made more inviting by the introduction of low landscaping planters, trees and ADA accessible ramps. The quarry tile plaza was replaced with a composition tile system that will not deteriorate. The paving pattern provides visual interest to the plaza and complements the building design.
