City Hall

Richmond City Hall opened in 2020 on the corner of No. 3 Road and Granville Avenue. This award-winning building features stunning architecture, peaceful garden terraces, and public spaces that are inviting and accessible. It’s the fourth City Hall in Richmond’s history, following earlier iterations dating back to 1879. To learn more about the history of Richmond, visit the Friends of the Richmond Archives Blog. 

City Hall is where the primary tasks of running City government are carried out. Council Chambers are the civic heart of Richmond City Hall, where elected officials gather to make decisions that shape our community. The eight-storey administrative tower houses many of the City’s departments and staff who help keep Richmond running smoothly. At the base of the tower is the Front of House – a customer service centre designed to make accessing City services easy and efficient.

The two-storey Meeting House is home to several public meeting rooms and a bright, open galleria space. This part of City Hall serves as a hub for collaboration, dialogue, and community connection and includes a cafe, comfortable seating, local art and museum displays, guided tours and various spaces that are available for rental by the community. Accessibility features include an elevator to access the second floor, automatic doors, and accessible washrooms. 

On the north side of the building, landscaped terraces and the Civic Plaza create inviting public spaces for residents and visitors alike. These areas host community events, public celebrations, and seasonal festivals throughout the year. The design encourages gathering, conversation, and civic pride – making City Hall not just a workplace, but a place for the community.

Richmond City Hall offers on site complimentary visitor parking for 2 hours, 8:15am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday and has accessible parking available with no time limit.
