Communities are defined by the structures which serve them. Often the single most capital-extensive projects a town or city will ever undertake, there is much at stake when creating a civic landmark that is expected to not only deliver a wide range of services but also represent what the community stands for.

Omicron understands the unique design and development process for civic structures such as municipal halls, recreation centres, libraries and multi-use community facilities.

The key is extensive consultation with community and service groups, inclusion of several levels of government and administration, and the integration of wide ranging needs into a design which will accommodate high usage and meet the needs of people of all ages.
