The new Chanhassen City Hall is bringing a fresh look and improved experience to the heart of our downtown. Thoughtfully designed and built with community in mind, the new facility is more than just a building—it’s a milestone for our city.
Here are ten things worth knowing:
A Fresh Start: Built to replace the aging 1981 facility, the new City Hall offers modern amenities, energy efficiency and better service for a growing community.
Designed For All Abilities: From wide hallways and accessible restrooms to thoughtful layout and seating, the building was built to be fully ADA-compliant and welcoming to all.
A Better First Impression: From the large glass entrance to the wide, open lobby, the building was designed to feel bright, clean and welcoming the moment you walk through the doors.
Senior Center Connection: Though the Senior Center is its own space, it’s intentionally integrated into the building design for easier access and shared amenities.
Centralized Services: Visitors are now greeted by a single, intuitive service counter designed to streamline your experience—whether you’re paying a bill, applying for a permit or just asking a question.
Library Link: A heated sidewalk will connect City Hall to the Chanhassen Library, making year-round visits easier and more enjoyable—no matter the weather.
Council Chambers Upgrade: The new Council Chambers features better seating, improved lighting and integrated technology to make public meetings more accessible and easier to follow—whether you’re attending in person or tuning in from home.
Built To Last: With timeless architecture and durable materials like stone, wood and metal finishes, the building was designed to age gracefully and reflect the natural beauty of Chanhassen.
Secure Underground Parking: For the first time in city history, City Hall includes a secure underground parking garage for the city’s fleet and Carver County deputy vehicles— freeing up surface parking for residents and guests.
Shaped by Residents: From open houses to surveys, residents played a big part in shaping the final design. This building is truly a reflection of community voices.
