Board Chambers Reopen as CAC Renovations Continue

The County Board of Supervisors resumed its meetings in its newly renovated chambers at the historic County Administration Center this week. The chambers underwent a complete overhaul over the last five months.

Crews replaced carpets, added seating in the main chambers and permanent seating in the balcony, installed a new dais and modern audiovisual equipment, cleaned the murals in the chambers and upgraded numerous other features. The chambers now also get natural daylight thanks to new automated window shades that were added to the original 1938 windows, which were refurbished as part of the remodel.

The renovations of the chambers are part of a larger effort to upgrade the CAC both inside and out. The work is being completed floor by floor which requires that offices on affected floors move to temporary locations while their spaces are under renovation.

The following offices are in temporary locations at the CAC until January 31:

• Office of Ethics and Compliance (Tower 7)

• Civil Service Commission (Tower 8)

• County Communications Office (LL 070)

• County Counsel (LL 03)

• Office of Strategy and Intergovernmental Affairs (LL 021)

Labor Relations moved permanently into the former CSG executive office on the 2nd floor of the CAC.

General Services is overseeing the five-year renovation project. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2024.
