<br />Project Experience <br /> <br /> <br />City of Rockford. Rockford City Hall <br />Rockford, MN <br /> <br />Contact <br /> <br />Nancy Carswell <br />City Administrator <br />763.477.6565 <br /> <br />BKY Group has provided programming, master planning, and design services for a new City <br />Hall and Event Center complex for the City of Rockford. The project consists of 5,647 gsf <br />for City Hall functions and 1,650 gsf I 30 seat event center expandable to accommodate 21 0 <br />seats at 3,300 gsf. The facility is designed to meet a sustainability level equivalent to the LEED <br />Silver designation. <br /> <br />The final Design concept consists of two primary masses, one which includes the City Hall <br />and Council Chambers and one which includes the Event Center: A covered roof extension <br />- referred to as the porch - connects the two buildings creating an "L" configuration. The <br />overall configuration is derived through functional development and City Council input as <br />well as urban planning gestures related to definition of park space and continuation of the <br />town fabric along Main Street <br /> <br />The design reflects the community values established through a visioning workshop as <br />reflected in the building's relationship with the site. The City Hall site uniquely represents <br />the landscape of the greater community through Main Street to the South and the River to <br />the North. The building mass itself extends outward into the park topography through the <br />use of raised landscape areas consisting of landscape walls or sculpted plateaus and a cov- <br />ered area, referred to as the porch, which will function as an area for rest, dining, socializing <br />and enjoying the landscape. <br /> <br />BKV <br /> <br />G B () U p <br />
