Muskegon City Hall Operations Space Needs Analysis
October 5, 2023
PURPOSE
The City of Muskegon seeks to secure proposals from qualified individuals and/or organizations offering architectural and space planning services to conduct a space needs analysis for City Hall operations. This analysis will include both the Muskegon City Hall building at 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, MI 49440 and the former Hackley Administration Building at 349 W. Webster Avenue, Muskegon, MI 49440.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Muskegon’s City Hall was opened in 1970 and, to present, has served only as City Hall. The building houses the City’s Public Safety Division, Development Services Division, and Finance Division. In total, the building is approximately 61,000 square feet across two stories and a basement. A 1990s remodel significantly altered the interior layout of the building, namely the second floor. Subsequent remodeling work has been handled on an office-by-office basis.
The former Hackley Administration Building was opened in 1892 and served as a public school for many years, later housing the Administration staff for Muskegon Public Schools. The building has been vacant since Administration staff relocated in summer 2020. The building contains approximately 50,500 square feet across four floors and a basement.
Relocating City Hall staff and services to the former Hackley Administration Building is being considered at this time and this space needs analysis is the first step in evaluating the potential for such a move.
