St. George City Hall Plaza

Project Description

Civil Science was brought on during construction to complete the design of the new St. George City Hall Plaza and its surrounding amenity spaces – a complex task that required close coordination with City staff, contractors, and design partners to refine the vision and ensure a cohesive final product.  Working collaboratively, the Civil Science team developed a design that blends modern civic character with the warmth and identity of Southern Utah’s sandstone landscapes.  The plaza features shaded seating areas, fire pits, hanging basket chairs, and even two stainless steel slides off the parking structure stairwell. Patterned paving, terraced seat walls, and carefully composed planting areas echo the forms and textures of nearby canyons, while material selections tie the project to the surrounding historic downtown.  When complete, the plaza will provide a functional and visually distinctive public space that reflects St. George’s landscape, culture, and civic identity.
