Eugene City Hall (photo credit: Oregon State Historic Preservation Office)
As
I noted in my Whither City Hall blog
post a few months back, the subject of where to locate Eugene City Hall
now that the City has abandoned its previous home elicits strong opinions. There
are those who advocate rebuilding on the current site and others like me who
would rather see Eugene
move city hall to EWEB's riverfront headquarters.
Regardless
of which option you favor, you may be interested in a special City Club of Eugene presentation entitled Options for
City Hall. It will be a free program starting at 7 pm on Monday, December
3, 2012 at Cozmic Pizza.
City staff members will provide background on the options and costs.
AIA-Southwestern Oregon’s own Otto Poticha, FAIA will point out some possibilities
for the current site, while Eugene
city councilor Mike Clark will discuss opportunities at the EWEB site. Both
will outline the costs and benefits for each site, in terms of dollars and
cents and the role of a city hall in establishing a community’s civic identity.
As usual at City Club programs, the speakers’ presentations will be followed by a Q & A session with the audience. All are welcome to join in the program.
What: Options for City Hall (a City Club of Eugene
presentation)
When: Monday,
December 3, 2012 – 7:00 to 8:30 PM
Where: Cozmic Pizza, 199
West 8th Avenue , Eugene

So possibly a new town hall? As much as its a tricky thing to design, what a wonderful brief! (if it came to that)
