Comfrey Municipal Building
Comfrey, Minnesota


THE SHARED VISION: The community of Comfrey lost all of its community services structures as a result of a 1998 tornado. The need to restore them rapidly and the unique opportunity to start from scratch drove the project.

THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN: A multi-use building at the town center was the most usable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The City Hall, Post Office, Community Center, Fire Hall and First Responders are all housed in one facility with a scale and rhythmic brick façade reminiscent of the traditional downtown. The corner of Brown and Court Streets where the center of town once was is developed into a mini town square.

 

 

< The new building sits in the center of town.

 

< The facility serves five major municipal functions.

 

 

 

 

Back to top

 

< The well-lit interior of the fire station allows convenient uniform storage and plenty of room for vehicles.

The "town green" makes a welcoming outdoor space for people visiting the City Hall and Post Office.

 

< The building houses a full commercial kitchen next to a community room.

 

< The post office is located opposite municipal services and has its own entrance.
