Originally built in 1924, the historic Town of Highland Park DPS and Town Hall has undergone multiple small renovations resulting in a convoluted campus and lack of connectivity between its departments. To resolve these issues, the Town approved major renovations adding 15,000 square feet, including a third floor and a basement for additional office space and technology upgrades. The design team sensitively restored historical features and elements of the original Town Hall including the domed tower, and Spanish Colonial design to maintain its elegance and branding. The entire center section was demolished to make way for a new addition of a 3 story center with a complete basement connected to Town Hall as well as Fire Services. Other improvements include flood-proofing the creekside of the basement, increasing operational and circulation efficiencies, and increasing the energy efficiency of building. The $20 Million dollar renovation enhances the plaza while keeping with the overall building design. This renovation was long overdue and the updates allow the Town pf Highland Park to work more efficiently and be more accessible to their residents. -
