Germantown Municipal Center



I was covering a meeting of the Germantown Mayor & Board of Aldermen last week for my day job and thought the Germantown Municipal Center would be blog-worthy.  I've always liked the building.  It's almost church-like.  In fact, I understand the architecture firm that designed it has done many churches.  Apparently, one of the principals was also a well-respected city leader in G'town.  The building was completed in 1978.  Cool features include a circular conference room which sits in "people street" - the atrium area.  Ficus trees used to be planted in this area as well.. But were recently replaced with lighted discs on the floor.
