RALEIGH, NC — RATIO expands its North American portfolio with the win of Phase One of the Civic Campus in Raleigh, North Carolina. As part of the city’s strategic plan, Phase One consists of the East Civic Tower, a city hall that will consolidate city functions and feature public service as well as amenities. The project will be delivered through a collaborative process with Henning Larsen and the City of Raleigh, and through interactive public engagement.

The Henning Larsen | RATIO team was commissioned on the basis of Henning Larsen’s global and national portfolio of city halls and civic centers and RATIO’s local experience and certainty of delivery. Programming and schematic design began in January 2020.

“We’re honored to work in the thriving city of Raleigh to create a modern workplace, and at the same time, a building that invites great public service,” said Michael Sørensen, Partner and Director at Henning Larsen Architects’ New York office.

The architectural design will be led by Henning Larsen (New York) and delivered by RATIO (Raleigh). The team will be supported by individuals from North Carolina firms and women- and minority-owned businesses, including: Lynch Mykins for structural engineering; Barrett Woodyard Associates for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and controls; Lerch Bates for vertical transportation; Carolina Specialty Engineering for code consulting; FX Design Group for TV studio design; SM&W for acoustics, audiovisual, IT and security; F&R for geotechnical; SEPI for site/civil engineering; MBP for cost consultancy, scheduling services, and LEED commissioning; and Davenport for traffic engineering.
