On June 26, 2025, Sean Boily of Northwind Architects and Bob Banghart, executive director of the Capital Civic Center Partnership, signed the contract to begin design work on the project, with 35% schematic design scheduled by fall, proceeding to 65% design development by mid-winter, and then to 100% by mid-summer 2026, with construction to follow as soon as possible as funding comes in.

Background
The Partnership, Inc and City & Borough of Juneau (CBJ) have entered into a Memo of Agreement (MOA) defining the phases of design process, project management structure and funding commitments to complete design of the addition to Centennial Hall. The original architectural team is under contract for the project. The complex will be known as the Capital Civic Center and will feature the same programing components offered in the prior stand alone building design.
Current Effort
Evergreen Economics is under contract to produce the proforma needed for developing operational cost models and income models at 35% of design document completion.
The Partnership and Northwind will be reaching out to users of the current facilities (Juneau Arts & Culture Center & Centennial Hall) to review expectations and potential needs in order to ratify the new building design as the project progresses.
The 35% and 65% of design document development are significant milestones on the path to full construction documents for the facility. Throughout the pending design phases the Partnership, Northwind and CBJ will be working together to insure the facility provides the programming community users have identified as essential and that the project stays within the defined budget.
You are welcome to stop in to Northwind Archictects at 126 Seward St in Juneau to see the plans posted on the walls.
