里士满市民中心振兴项目最近开幕式，当地官员的媒体巡回演唱会和演讲。

The project also recently won the Best of California’s Top Overall Project for 2009 in the Northern California region.

它还获得了政府/公共类别中加利福尼亚最佳奖。该奖项计划由McGraw-Hill Construction和California Construction杂志主持。

经过将近六年的设计和建设，大约有300个里士满城市员工最近返回了新振兴的市民中心，这是美国有史以来最早建造的现代市民中心之一。

由洛杉矶的Nadel Architects设计的9100万美元的多相振兴项目由Richmond Civic Center Partners LLC领导，这是由洛杉矶的总部位于洛杉矶的联盟物业集团和位于洛杉矶的Washt Viejo Advantage Group组成的设计建设合作伙伴关系。，LLC;并由总承包商Charles Pankow Builders，Ltd和C. Overaa＆Co。Inc.和Nadel一起实施。

里士满数十年来，加利福尼亚州最重要的历史性市民中心康复是里士满市民中心的振兴。”“随着建筑物的康复和自适应再利用，我们相信市民中心向这座城市的建筑遗产致敬，并重新建立了里士满作为未来之城的地方。该设施的卓越设计已经开始显示出将整个市区恢复其原始荣耀的迹象。”

现在完成,第一阶段包括t的改造hree landmark buildings: City Hall, the Hall of Justice and the combination Civic Auditorium/Art Center. Arranged around a striking landscaped plaza, the Civic Center facilities were originally master planned and designed by famed architects Richard Neutra and R.M. Schindler in the late 1930s and executed by San Francisco’s most famous civic architect, Timothy Pflueger. The low, linear forms—from the prominent colonnades that form a band around the plaza to the horizontal brickwork cladding to the slender 65-foot wide City Hall building—reflect the mid-century modern style popularized in the late 1940s and 1950s.

“我们对该项目的愿景是将关键的城市行政职能带回市中心 - 由于与1989年的洛马·普埃塔（Loma Prieta）地震相关的损害，已经将其迁移了七年，同时还恢复了中央商务区并尊重原始建筑。纳德尔建筑师设计总监迈克尔·沃尔登（Michael Walden）说。

Under Nadel’s design direction, the City Hall, Hall of Justice and Civic Auditorium underwent complete seismic upgrades, exterior envelope rehabilitation, which included replacement of all exterior glazing, stone panels and large portions of the brick exterior using brick that replicates the original cladding, as well as system upgrades and interior renovations. The ground floor of City Hall was expanded by approximately 15,000 sq ft to create a floor similar in size to the upper levels. To recall the “lofting” effect achieved in the original Pflueger design, clear, floor-to-ceiling glass was used, minimizing the disruption to views from both inside and out. Some City Hall functions were transferred to the old Hall of Justice to create a new 440 Civic Center Plaza, which houses community services and includes an additional 56,000 sq ft of space, modernized City Council chambers and its accompanying broadcast facilities for Richmond’s Public Television Station, KCRT. The City Hall and 440 Civic Center Plaza have been designed to meet all of the criteria for LEED gold certification.

然而，对公民中心的最重大变化是占地两英亩的公共广场本身，该广场在其规模，功能和使用方面发生了变化。历史悠久的砖砌台阶仍然存在，但是已重新设计了广场广场的“游行尺度”开放式内部，以适应更多的人行道用途，具有中央水的特征和艺术元素，并引入了紧张的放松区域。

第二阶段将包括一座全新的，占地80,000平方英尺的公共安全大楼，计划实现LEED白金。该建筑物将纳入警察和消防部门，新的中央监狱和紧急行动中心。包括的公共停车场将包括400个公共停车位，以及专用的，有担保的停车位，可用于100多个“黑白”巡逻车。第三阶段将融合麦克唐纳大街走廊沿线的市场率和负担得起的住房，办公空间和地面零售。一座新的图书馆大楼也计划在未来的工作中进行。
