CIVIC CENTER COLOR

Huntington Beach Civic Center is not a particularly exciting looking building. Even on the inside, it has that governmental look & feel that's somewhat barren. The beauty of the building is its setting. It sits atop a hill and from the upper floors you can see quite a distance in various directions.

The City Council votes on things given to the city by other places. A peace pole was one of the more recent gifts the council voted on placing outside the building. Unfortunately, the landscape is becoming a hodge podge of items that don't necessarily carry any particular theme.

Recent renovations such as an earthquake retrofit have been approved and are helping to shore up for potential hazards the building could face in a major earthquake. So it looks like this building will be around for quite some time to come.
