Icon Architecture Completes Renovation of Historic Fitchburg City Hall

Boston-based ICON Architecture has completed a major renovation of Fitchburg’s historic City Hall building at 718 Main Street in Fitchburg, MA.

The project is part of an ongoing revival of the city of Fitchburg. In addition to City Hall, ICON is working on the former BF Brown School, as well as the Game Design Studio and Idea Lab in conjunction with Fitchburg State University as part of Phase I of the Main Street Theater Block, a restoration of a 1,200-seat performing arts center. The City Hall building was built in 1853 and is a local historic landmark.

“Our team really enjoyed restoring this historic building and modernizing the interiors to meet contemporary municipal needs and bringing it to modern standards,” said Ned Collier, principal at ICON Architecture. “One of the most interesting elements we tasked ourselves with was bringing daylight into the building. Every office has access to daylight and views.
