CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
STATUS Under Construction | Contra Costa County | SIZE 71,000 SF | COMPLETION 2019 est. | Designed to LEED Gold
MARTINEZ, CA, USA The New County Administration Building will replace the current McBrien Building and is designed to be more efficient and community-friendly. It will stand four stories tall and house a variety of county departments, along with the Board of Supervisors meeting chamber. The design blends civic character with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The project included the master planning and strategic phasing of several blocks in downtown Martinez to include parking and civic plazas carefully designed to bring cohesion and better flow to the government district. Public plaza areas will replace the space currently occupied by the McBrien Building.
KMD completed the project through Bridging Documents. The new building is currently under construction by the design-build team of Hensel Phelps/Fentress Architects and Dreyfuss and Blackford Architecture with ongoing reviews by KMD.
