Thanks to all the familiar faces and new friends who attended the Covington City Hall construction tour with Design LAB and Pepper Construction! Alongside Pepper's project managers, Elevar architects and the City's project coordinator gave us a sneak peak of the space and the thoughtful design process behind it. We can't wait to see the new building in action!

Join us on June 9th at 4:00 p.m. for an exclusive tour of Covington City Hall. Currently, the town's City Hall is housed in a converted J.C. Penney department storeā€”a temporary solution that began in 2013 and has now stretched into more than a decade. Given Covingtonā€™s rich history, architectural beauty, and diverse population, the city government needed a visible, accessible, and central location.

Brandstetter Carroll, Inc. and Elevar Design Group have teamed up to design the new City Hall, with Pepper Construction as the construction manager. This project is a three-story, 41,000-square-foot building that will serve as a much-needed permanent home for the Covington City Government.

Tickets are limited ā€” secure yours today at designlearnandbuild.org!

Project Title: Lake View Library Grade: 5th, Summit Elementary
Description: The Lake View Library is a library where people can relax and enjoy themselves. They can read to Paige, our horse, enjoy the waterfall, and hang out in the tree house. One of our top priorities is to conserve nature and make the library a safe and welcoming environment for everybody.
