Henderson City Hall
Architect(s): HCA Architects and RAFI
Address: 240 Water St.
Year: 1998

Henderson's City Hall, a massive pink-stucco building, sits at the rear of the site as to not disrupt the small town feel of the Water Street buildings. The offices are arranged around a central exterior courtyard that serves as both circulation and gathering space. By providing workers with easy access to fresh air and sunlight, the hope was that productivity and job satisfaction would increase. The south façade is reduced to only one story to provide a friendlier scale to the residential neighborhood it faces. The existing facility was remodeled and the 150,000 square-foot addition was designed by HCA Architects.
