The Borough of Hollidaysburg was growing and needed additional facilities including a larger Council Chambers and expanded areas for zoning, management, and police offices.

LDA studied the Borough's-10 year needs for facility requirements.

After exploring a number of options and gaining clear title to an adjoining piece of land, the Borough decided to restore and expand the historic 1910 Municipal Hall.

The project presented a challenge in that the addition would represent almost twice as much space as the original building. LDA prepared a design that joined the new and old portions with a new main entrance. The proposal received the enthusiastic support of the Hollidaysburg Historic District Review Board.

The project was phased so that the Borough offices could relocate into the new addition before substantial restoration began on the original building. The 911 Center was maintained in operation throughout the construction process.
