Government Block

The buildings portrayed in the government block represent several functions, government/agency office spaces, historical elements and to serve as a "bookend" to the government space in the downtown area. The office buildings (three large green masses) are meant for the elected officials to have there primary office spaces as well as various government agencies. The buildings are portrayed as glass buildings, however they can vary. The building in the center, would serve as a museum (historical society would be relocated to this location and a state museum) as well as containing the state library. The buildings materiality is portrayed as limestone, sympethetic to the materiality of the state capitol's limestone facades. The courtyard would serve as a leisure space that could serve as impromptu gathering spaces.
