At this week’s City Council meeting, an update was provided on renovation work underway on a one-story facility in East Richardson that will temporarily support both City Hall and Library operations starting in late summer/early fall. The near 75,000-square-foot-facility is located at 2360 Campbell Creek Blvd. at the southwest corner of Plano Road and Greenville Avenue.

City Hall staff are expected to begin transitioning into the temporary facility in late summer. Library staff are expected to transition services and inventory in early fall in preparation for the full renovation of the Richardson Library approved in the 2021 Bond Program. The Library Renovation Project is expected to be complete in fall/winter 2025.

The City is seeking input from residents regarding the design of the new City Hall through two public meetings and a communitywide citizen survey that will be published in the coming weeks.

City staff members were displaced and dispersed throughout five municipal buildings last August due to a fire that caused the closure of City Hall located on the southwest corner of Arapaho Road and US 75. The cause of the fire was determined to be an electrical failure.

Planning is underway for construction of a new City Hall building funded by a voter-approved 2023 City Hall Bond Program. Conceptual planning for the new City Hall is underway and a timeline for its completion is being developed.
