Workers at Richardson City Hall who were displaced by the August 2022 fire should be back under one roof in late summer/early fall once renovation work is complete on an east Richardson office building. The facility, located at 2360 Campbell Creek Blvd. at the southwest corner of Plano Road and Greenville Avenue, was the most move-in ready of a dozen sites that were considered.

The City is leasing about 48,000 square feet for the temporary City Hall, and another 29,000 square feet so the Library can be relocated while the existing building undergoes a full renovation beginning later this year using funds approved in the 2021 Bond Program.

Since the fire, City Hall workers have been working out of five separate city-owned facilities, with City Council meetings held at the Police Headquarters. All services provided at City Hall prior to the fire, including public meetings, will be relocated to the temporary facility.

The facility will feature a single area where the public can meet with representatives from the Health Department, Building Inspection and Water Customer Service, with a setup like what has been in place in the lobby of the Municipal Court Building since the fire. People who choose to pay their water bills in person will be able to do so at the new facility. 

While the building was the most move-in ready, some renovation work must take place before employees can move in. This work includes bringing the City’s fiber network into the building and making minor modifications to the interior space to fit the needs of the various departments. 

City Hall staff will be at the temporary facility until a new City Hall building is constructed using funds from the 2023 City Hall Bond Program. Planning work for that facility is underway, with a public survey and open house meetings scheduled to begin later this month. The Library will be at the temporary facility until the existing facility is renovated. That work is expected to be complete in fall/winter 2025
