City staff is currently in ten different buildings downtown. Bringing most of the city staff and departments together in one location, will make our city more efficient, save money in the long run, and improve the quality of services provided. For those who need to come to City Hall for permits, licenses or other services, you’d be able to visit just one place, in one trip and know you can quickly get your business done.

City services downtown now occupy more space outside City Hall than inside City Hall.

Eugene ’s City Hall was completed and fully occupied in 1964 housing the majority of City staff including the Municipal Courts, Eugene Police and Fire Departments. The building was planned to accommodate police functions for ten years, with the intent to move police to a dedicated police facility in the mid 1970’s and allow growth space in City Hall for other city divisions. Though police patrol remains in City Hall, the Fire Department moved to a new facility in 2005.

Since the construction of the existing City Hall, the City’s population has tripled and so has the need for City services. The City managed this growth by incrementally occupying space in other existing buildings (see map) and by constructing facilities, such as a 911 Call Center, as funding allowed.
