New Plans for South City Civic Center

South San Francisco officials unveiled a fresh, modern design for the new civic center with hopes of establishing an iconic facility which is both unique but utilitarian.

The city’s Design Review Board as well as the Parks & Recreation Commission gave initial favorable reviews to the new proposal during separate discussions Tuesday, May 21, said Assistant City Manager Marian Lee.

The updated design was called for by officials hoping to construct a signature building after previous plans were deemed inadequate and uninspiring, sending planners back to the drawing board for a more intriguing proposal. Read the full article, featured on The Daily Journal which includes comments from Assistant City Manager Marian Lee.

 

Schematic Design (Schematic or SD) Phase

On August 22, 2018, City Council unanimously approved the Concept Masterplan(PDF, 2MB)  for the new Community Civic Campus project.  Immediately following Council’s approval, the design team was directed to proceed with developing the schematic design of the new campus buildings.

Schematic design is the first design phase where design options are explored that illustrate the general scope, scale and relationship of project components.  Over the next four (4) months, the SmithGroup team will advance the design of the Library & Recreation Building, Police, and Fire Stations, as well as campus site.  Each building will be analyzed based on the technical aspects of the site, preferred spatial adjacencies, building circulation, building systems and material aesthetics.  The SmithGroup will present design options to obtain further input on stakeholder preferences. Once the design parameters are established, the team will advance the preferred scheme and develop the building geometry, site orientation, floor plans and building elevations. 

The City encourages you to stay involved in this exciting project and continue to visit this website for more updates.
