Boston City Hall Building Renewal
Redevelopment of Boston City Hall
Boston City Hall, designed by Kallmann, McKinnell, & Knowles, Architects, is now recognized as among the most important municipal buildings of its kind. It?s also known as an excellent example of ?Brutalism,? or concrete modernism.
Leading up to the Boston City Hall building?s official 50th anniversary this year, the Mayor?s Office of Arts and Culture has instigated small changes and proposed other sweeping updates to the building and its 7-acre plaza.

In a comprehensive report conducted through the city?s Public Facilities Department, a multi-pronged planning process to introduce both design and operational improvements to the structure has already begun.
The Boston City Hall and Plaza Study, completed in 2017 in collaboration with Boston-based Utile Architecture + Planning and Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects, advises reorganization of the administrative and public service needs through improved design.
The proposal aims to restructure the upper floors of the building and introduce shared spaces that can be used by different teams.
