Remodeling of a municipal facility in Pasadena, California. Completed plans call for the remodel of a municipal facility.

https://pasadenanow.com/main/council-approves-contract-for-permit-center-remodel As part of Monday’s consent calendar, the City Council unanimously approved a $2.5 million contract to Swinerton Builders for the Hale Building remodel project. The project will upgrade the city’s Permit Center, expand office space, and modernize public facilities in the 1929 building on Garfield Avenue. The first phase of the remodel, completed in fiscal year 2020, focused on the second-floor offices occupied by the Department of Planning and Community Development. Phase II of the remodel includes upgrades to the historic Permit Center’s plan check counters and reception area, a new 70-person Public Hearing Room, renovation of five private offices and 25 workstations, ADA compliance improvements, and restroom renovations. Energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, and building security enhancements are also planned. The building originally was constructed for the Southern California Gas Company and acquired by the city in 1986. The Hale Building underwent its last major rehabilitation in 1994. Since that time, minimal improvements have been made. The current facilities are no longer adequate to support staff or meet public accessibility and efficiency standards. Construction is expected to be completed by October. --------------------------------------------------------- This project provides for a two-phase, comprehensive interior remodel of the Hale Building. Phase II includes design and renovation of the 1st floor Historical Public Permit Services Center with all associated back of the house office space. The renovations include accessibility compliance upgrades, installation of energy efficient and water saving fixtures for Title 24 compliance, and building security measures.
