City of Tyler Neighborhood Services Center
Tyler, TX
When we were approached to design the Neighborhood Services Center,
the City of Tyler wanted a welcome friendly building. They wanted
to create a building that was easily accessible to pedestrians in
the downtown area. This helped to determine the location directly
across the street from City Hall.
An important element in the design was to bring in natural light
while remaining a secure structure. The entry is an arched covered
portico with seating creating a natural focal point for pedestrians.
The implementation of mixed glass block styles created a beautiful
accent to the grandeur of the entry and waiting area. Wood accents
throughout the building truly make this a unique service center
that has been adapted to its downtown setting.
