Eugene City Hall featured topic at AIA-SWO's January meeting
In 2012, Eugene City Hall was vacated in preparation for a long-awaited transformation. Last summer, Rowell Brokaw Architects was selected by the City of Eugene to lead the effort to rebuild this important place.

- Project’s goals and preliminary design concepts;
- Strategies that support design excellence within the Phase 1 scope and project budget;
