Las Vegas Downtown Civic Center Building and Plaza

The Las Vegas Civic Center and Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza create a new municipal campus and focal point of the developing civic and governmental district in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Beginning with an architectural proposal process that engaged the public in voting in 2021, the integrated, collaborative design team of BNIM, LGA Architects, and OJB Landscape Architects was selected to work with the City on this important civic campus. Designed as a catalyst for activation and growth, the Civic Center and Plaza project serves both as a centralized workplace bringing together multiple departments of the City of Las Vegas and an introduction of much-needed community gathering and outdoor space in the heart of downtown.

The Civic Center introduces two new buildings, Building A and B, encompassing 250,000 SF of public amenity and private office spaces. Bringing together multiple City departments within one cohesive municipal workplace, the new Civic Center buildings feature office workspaces for the Human Resources, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, and Information Technology departments, along with future departmental tenants. The Civic Center is also home to the 2,400 SF contemporary Las Vegas Civic Center Art Gallery, which welcomes the community and visitors to enjoy rotating art exhibitions. In addition, the City will work with artists to showcase a number of art installations throughout the Plaza. The Plaza is envisioned to draw numerous different cultural events to downtown, welcoming Las Vegas residents to enjoy performances, food trucks, festivals, and greenspace within the urban environment.
