Northglenn City Hall provides inviting and efficient point-of-service locations for customers and visitors and day-lit workplaces for the city staff. A reimagined workplace ecosystem provides staff with the amenities needed to support the variety of activities that comprise their daily routines. The new City Hall offers a fresh, progressive facility at the center of the precinct, serving as an anchor for this re-invented public forum.

The Civic Center Master Plan identified a new precinct that enhances stronger community identity, integrating a vibrant mix of land use through a public-private development arrangement to ensure a thriving Civic Center, which included the new City Hall, a new recreation center and senior center, the D.L. Parsons Theatre and the relocated Veterans Memorial while leveraging its proximity to E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park.

The City Hall aligns with the CORE Green Building rating system from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), with measures including: 

  • Net-Zero energy with on-site renewable energy production via roof top and canopy mounted photovoltaics
  • 100% of irrigation demand met with on-site rainwater capture, an effort that required advocacy and an augmentation plan to comply with Colorado Water Law
  • 50% embodied carbon reduction featuring mass timber construction

It will be the first municipal building to achieve CORE Green Building certification in Colorado, demonstrating Northglenn’s commitment as a leader in regenerative design practices & sustainable operations.

I am particularly proud of how this project has brought our community together. It reflects what we can achieve when we know our community and staff deserve better and we work toward a common goal. Our city is thriving, and our new city hall is a shining example of the progress we are making.
