Hypower’s project Boynton Beach City Hall and Library was awarded the prestigious 2021 DBIA Design-Build National Award of Merit Award in the MUNICIPAL Category.
The 4-story, 102,000 SF Boynton Beach City Hall and Library is the first P3 project of its kind attempted in the state of Florida. Despite having to work with an expedited schedule, the design-build team completed this project on time with enhanced features provided by adding $2.5 million of scope from their own contingency funds.
The new 102,000 SF, 4-story City Hall and Library facility is a tilt-up and steel structure building including spaces for the city management staff, building department, commission chambers, community space, a public library, and space for a future café. The City initiated a master plan for the redevelopment of 16 acres into a pedestrian-friendly town center to live, work and play. The City Hall and Library facility, along with its open space program, was designed to invite and promote private development in the area with the redevelopment’s added amenities and enhanced public safety criteria. This project was unique in that it houses many city departments, each with functional requirements. Throughout the project, the team was challenged to further refine the design even throughout construction. The city’s architect collaborated with the team to resolve issues and review user group requests.
