Work continues on a $17.8 million roof project at the Marin County Civic Center. The Board of Supervisors last fall hired Arntz Builders of Novato to replace the roof of the 470,168-square-foot building — the largest public project by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
The center’s 220,000-square-foot roof underwent major repairs in 1999 and 2000. After several smaller patch jobs in 2015 it was determined that the roof needed to be replaced. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The project will be completed in two phases. Work on the administration wing and library dome is expected to wrap up late fall.
After scaffolding is installed at the longer Hall of Justice at the center’s northern end, roof replacement will begin along that segment in spring 2019.
