CIVIC
Civic projects are the soul of communities that must embody culture, aspirational goals and service functions for a diverse group of people. Our designers deploy community-focused engagement processes, democratizing public spaces to create welcoming, inclusive destinations that celebrate the importance of civic engagement and serve as a community beacon. The innovative results have earned recognition through Fast Company’s Innovative by Design awards, Interior Design Best of Year awards, three prestigious COTE Top Team Awards from the American Institute of Architects, and features in Fast Company and Metropolis. SmithGroup’s long-standing reputation for delivering comprehensive and integrated solutions will ensure your community is positioned for continued success in an ever-evolving world.

The Contemporary Civic Center – Practicality and Purpose
Fundamentally, the purpose of civic centers has remained relatively unchanged throughout history, steadfastly serving as the soul of a community. From a practical standpoint, civic centers are intended to serve society and reflect the setting and period within which they are shaped. As such, civic values that guided an era are expressed in the architecture and spaces created during that time.
