The first mat slab pour scheduled for Thursday 10/24 has been rescheduled to Wednesday 10/30.  The second pour is now scheduled for Thursday 11/7. Work is still scheduled for 5 a.m – 8 p.m.

Crews will be busy preparing the site for the big pours by installing rebar and pouring an initial rat slab (thin layer of non-structural concrete poured over the compacted rock). The delay is due to the wet weather we experienced last week, which saturated the soil.  This required a substantial amount of additional rock base to provide a stable compacted surface for the concrete.  The additional time and effort to bring in the additional rock caused the schedule to be pushed out.

Scheduled activities include remarks from Mayor Kent Studebaker, and representatives from Mackenzie Architects and General Contractor Howard S. Wright, among others. Architectural renderings will also be displayed and light refreshments served. The event will wrap up with the traditional sod-turning ceremony.

The new City Hall will provide the community with a seismically safe, modern, energy efficient and better functioning building that will be designed to a LEED Gold rating standard. Construction is expected to be completed with move-in around March 2021. Final completion of the project is expected by the end of 2021.

The project has been many years in the making – please join us to mark this special occasion!

Once the new City Hall is built, new trees will be planted.

July 8 - Deconstruction

During the week of July 8 - 12, deconstruction will continue with pot holing for utilities, tree removal, silt fence and construction fencing installation, along with grading in preparation for pile installation.

July 1 - Demo Continues

June 24 - City Hall Deconstruction to Begin

June 24 marks the first visible milestone in the New City Hall project. On Monday buildings at the corner of A Avenue and Third Street will begin to be deconstructed to make room for the new building. The process is expected to take two to three weeks and be completed by mid-July. Some trees that pose a safety risk or impeded the deconstruction process will be removed.  Most of the trees during this phase will be removed near the end of the deconstruction process.  The sidewalk on A Ave will remain open, however portions of the sidewalk on 3rd Street will be closed.  Parking will still be available on most of 3rd Street.

Material from the deconstruction of the buildings will be hauled to a regional material sorting facility in Wilsonville where wood, metal and masonry is separated and recycled. While the goal is to recycle 75% of materials, this project anticipates recycling over 90% of the materials.
 

June 4, 2019 - Fire Training at A Ave & 3rd St

June 5-7, the LO Fire Department will be conducting training in commercial buildings at the corner of 3rd Street and A Avenue (at 320 A Ave and 366 3rd St). Passersby can expect to see fire personnel, LOFD's ladder truck and 1-2 fire engines at the site from 9am-noon and 1:30-4:30pm each day.

Firefighters will be focusing on a variety of skills during this training, including search and rescue techniques, roof operations/ventilation, forcible entry, fire attack-hose deployment, water supply and ground ladder placement. There will be NO live fire as part of this training. This valuable training allows firefighters to hone their skills and prepare them better for emergency responses.

This location is where the new City Hall will be built. In addition to LOFD training, over the next few weeks you may see the LO Police Department and the Clackamas County SWAT team training at the site. After the training, deconstruction of the buildings will begin. Deconstruction is expected to start somewhere around mid-June. For more information about the City Hall project, visit www.ci.oswego.or.us/lora/new-city-hall-project or call the construction hotline at 503-635-0261.

For more information about the LOFD training, contact Gert Zoutendijk, Lake Oswego Fire Department, at 503-635-0275.

April 1, 2019 DRC meeting

The DRC approved the Development and Conditional Use Permits and Design and Minor Variances to construct the new City Hall and associated parking.  View the meeting on our YouTube channel. View the posted meeting materials.

November 6, 2018 LORA meeting

The LORA Board approved the schematic design on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. View the meeting materials (design, floor plans, site plans).  The next steps for the project will be to hold a pre-application conference, submit the land use application, meet with the Evergreen neighborhood association, and schedule a hearing with the Development Review Commission once the application is complete. The work includes further development of the design details both on the exterior and interior of the new building.

New City Hall Project Overview

The Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency is working on the planning and design of a new City Hall in downtown Lake Oswego. The new City Hall will provide a seismically safe, energy efficient and better functioning building for the community and city staff. It will include space for all existing departments including police and 9-1-1 dispatch center, as well as public meeting places. It will also provide storefront space for the Lake Oswego Arts Council and the Friends of the Library’s “Booktique.” The new building will be 3 stories over one level for secured police parking.

The new city hall building will be built adjacent to the existing city hall in downtown Lake Oswego. After the new building is complete, the existing city hall will be demolished and replaced with a new civic plaza, surface parking and street improvements. 

The majority of the project is funded by urban renewal. 
 

Police Facility Background

The city has studied the siting and construction of a new police facility since 2001.  The current space on the second floor of City Hall has long been recognized as inadequate for housing Police and 911 dispatch services.  The building cannot be secured, there is insufficient space for police operations, and the building does not meet current seismic standards for essential services.

Following several site studies, needs assessments, and condition analyses, in 2013 the Lake Oswego City Council, acting as the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency (LORA) Board, decided to purchase the three privately-held parcels immediately east of city hall as the site for a new police and 911 facility. The properties were acquired in 2015 and 2016. Following the decision to replace city hall, rather than just build a new police facility, a new city hall will be constructed on the properties next door to the existing city hall. 

City Hall Background

The existing Lake Oswego City Hall, value-engineered and constructed in 1986 for about $5 million, has multiple and significant building and programmatic deficiencies identified through several studies and condition assessments.

The inadequate drainage system of the building, compounded by the long history of excessive amounts of rainwater penetrating through the building's envelope (an EIFS cladding system), has damaged the underlying components of the building’s exterior wall. It is no longer feasible to maintain the building envelope and the lack of drainage system coupled with the significant concealed damage under the EIFS cladding removes the possibility of doing targeted repairs.  An assessment conducted in July 2015 recommended a full replacement of windows, doors, EIFS and underlining sheathing and insulation, roof, and repairs to the exterior walls. Additionally, the building's systems such as the HVAC, generator, and elevators are in need of replacement.

A seismic and structural assessment of the building noted that the structure would not perform well in an earthquake and the cost to retrofit the building would compare to the construction of a new facility. On March 21, 2017, the City Council decided to build a new City Hall with urban renewal funds rather than making the costly repairs and affirmed that decision on June 12, 2018.
