Projects
Sonoma County Civic Center | Santa Rosa, CA
This project involved the redevelopment/expansion of a large suburban government complex into a mixed-use development that would serve as a new town center.
Existing facilities included a range of municipal offices as well as numerous justice facilities with specialized security requirements (courts, police/fire departments, a large jail) which would all be relocated into new facilities on-site.
Proposed plans incorporated commercial office space, multifamily residential, local retail/entertainment, and associated parking and open space.
Role: Brian Jennett served as lead designer for this redevelopment plan of over 80 acres while employed at HOK. Conducted public facilitation among numerous government departments, determined real estate strategy, and developed physical plans for the site.
