This project began with a space needs study, existing facility evaluation, and concept plans for remodeling.  An addition to the existing City Hall included administrative, police, and public works offices, and the senior center.  Alternative sites and facilities were evaluated, the City elected to build in its historic downtown.

Recently Lodi constructed a new two-story, City Hall.  As a cornerstone for revitalizing the downtown, the facility includes space for the City administration (including Council Chambers), utility, public works, and building inspection/zoning administration departments. 

The facility's exterior design was adapted from historic plans of a local Architect, Carl Menes, which were drawn up in 1911, but never built.  Unique features include a clock tower with flag, arched topped windows, and historic trim.  Behind its traditional façade, the facility is equipped with state of the art amenities to better serve the community.

Vierbicher Associates, Inc. provided architectural and engineering services, including building design, site design, floodplain analysis, and environmental analysis. 

 This project was chosen for the 2003 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc.’s Project of Distinction award.
