st. francis city hall & fire station | st. francis, mn

The new St. Francis City Hall and Fire Station is a 36,500 square-foot facility serving as a cornerstone of the city’s new downtown corridor. This mixed-use building blends form and function—featuring a welcoming public plaza, a durable yet elegant precast exterior that nods to the city’s heritage, and thoughtfully designed interiors that serve both civic and public safety needs.

The City Hall includes a large Council Chamber, public service counter, and administrative offices. The Fire Department has eight apparatus bays, a secondary emergency operations center (EOC), a combination hose/training tower, SCBA room, day room, bunk rooms, and an ICC 500-rated storm shelter. The entities share access to conference rooms, a fitness room, and support spaces.

This new facility not only meets the operational needs of the city and its first responders but also creates a civic space the community can be proud of.
