ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Trees cleared from the site were milled and used as
interior finishes for the Cedar Hill Room, the
building’s most dynamic and prominent public space.
Building a single structure to house three public
entities resulted in a 20% savings on construction
costs and will produce comparable savings in
on-going operating costs.




ENHANCING COMMUNITIES

Community heritage is passed down to future
generations by the use of regional building
materials such as Texas rose-colored limestone
as well as by the use of regional symbols
including the “Star of Texas” as a decorative
theme in flooring, lighting and architectural details.

The design process encouraged community
involvement in the programming, planning, and
design of the Center. Intense user participation
played an important part in successfully integrating
the new Government Center with the character and
function of the City of Cedar Hill.
