Facts and Figures

• The renovation project is expected to cost about $23 million.
• The architect on board is St. Louis-based Chiodini Associates. This will be their third downtown project, the first one being the Howard building on Sixth Street and Broadway, and the most recent project at the Gentry Building, Seventh Street and Broadway.
• Unusually heavy rainfall this year created some problems, setting the project back by about a week, said City Assistant Manager Tony St. Romaine.
• The project will be completed in three phases. The first phase involved renovating the lobby at the Daniel Boone Building, building new offices for Treasury Management and Utility Costumer Services. During Phase II, the utilities service annex was demolished, and construction began on the five-story addition to the Daniel Boone Building. Phase III will include complete interior renovation of the Daniel Boone Building, and work is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.

City Hall’s Green Initiative

The renovated Daniel Boone Building will have Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, provides standards for environmentally sustainable construction. There are four types of LEDE certification: certified, silver, gold and platinum. The new City Hall is going for silver LEED certification. The more green aspects of the building will include a storm water retention system. The city is also trying to purchase building materials that have high recyclable content and buy them within a 500-mile radius of City Hall. In terms of energy savings, the city has saved 15 percent on electrical usage by using energy efficient heating and cooling systems. Officials have also had to find alternatives to the highly contentious green roof. A green roof is a roof partially or completely covered with soil and vegetation whose purpose is to reduce heat. The city has decided to go with a highly reflective roof membrane designed to keep the building cooler.
