Virginia – Charlottesville leaders are considering a plan to consolidate administrations for the city, police department, and school services into a 200,000-square-foot office complex.
Charlottesville’s city manager suggested the complex also could feature affordable housing, retail space, and 400 parking spaces.

City and school administrative functions are spread across four locations, including the current City Hall built in 1925 and expanded in 1967. Police operations are in a 1966 building.

The city’s interim deputy city manager stated that current city facilities are no longer adequate and have reached their end of life. The official said moving to a new facility would save the city about $983,572 in ongoing annual maintenance costs.
Cost estimates for the project are unknown, but officials anticipated that a design phase would last about a year with construction beginning in late 2022 or early 2023.
