SmithGroup worked with Chandler to redevelop an existing urban site, promoting density and pedestrian connections, and "leading by example" for future economic development. Housing new council chambers, administrative offices, a public television studio and a 330-space parking structure, the new city hall facilities celebrate Chandler's heritage, yet deliver a rich and exciting mix of aesthetics: pyramidal acoustic ceilings, a shaded mezzanine for receptions and events, and a daring kinetic sculpture adorning the entirety of a street-facing facade, altering the Hall's appearance with the sun's movement.
Furthermore, the resulting highly sustainable complex is designed to be one of the first LEED-Gold city halls in the nation.
