CLH provided both civil engineering and landscape architecture for this new Town Hall Complex within the downtown historic district of Wake Forest, NC. The focal point of the Town Hall building is the rotunda that serves as the main entry to the building. The design of the large plaza directs pedestrians to this building entry. In the center of the plaza are large curved steps which create an amphitheater area for Town Hall employees and pedestrians to enjoy. In addition to the Town Hall construction, this project also included the design and construction of Taylor Street, which expands the Town of Wake Forest’s urban downtown grid. Taylor Street allows access not only to the Town Hall campus, but also to the existing Miller Park adjacent to the campus.

CLH assisted the Town of Apex with the design of the Town’s Service Memorial honoring the victims of 9/11, fire, police, EMS personnel, and veterans.  The Town of Apex received a six-inch metal cube recovered from the South Tower of the World Trade Center.  The design included a granite monument which will hold the metal beam, engraved brick bands radiating out from the center of the monument, and brick seat walls surrounding a 10-foot tall town clock.  In addition, all funding for the Service Memorial has been achieved through private donations, mostly Apex residents.

CLH provided civil engineering and landscape architecture services for a new 20,000 SF Library and Cultural Arts Center facility on a 1.2 acre site. The site was designed to blend in with the existing government complex in keeping with the downtown historic district.  Services included joint use negotiations, concept plan, site layout and grading, utilities, stormwater BMPs (bio-retention areas), planting design, and construction observation.
