VILLAGE HALL ADDITION & RENOVATION

The Evergreen Park Village Hall was originally designed in the 1950's to house the Village Administration, the Council Chamber, and the Police and Fire Departments.  Over the years, an addition had been made to the Police Department portion of the building, and the Fire Department had moved out.  The Village wanted to expand the administration function into the now vacant Fire Department area, including the addition of a second floor over the former Fire Apparatus Bay, and redesign the exterior of the building to highlight the public entrance to tie the overall appearance of the building together.

The exterior of the existing building had two types of natural stone and 5 different types of facebrick.  The existing entrance was centrally located in the building, but remote from the new parking lot.  A entry tower was added adjacent to the parking lot to highlight the public entrance.  The Police entrance was kept, and the previous administration entry was used for the council entry.  The exterior of the building was covered with a plaster system to help tie the complex visually together, since none of the existing facebrick was available.
