New County Hall, Grade II listed building in Truro, England.

New County Hall features a three-storey square concrete frame structure with approximately 50 bays on each side and windows flanked by concrete slabs.

The building opened in 1966 by Queen Elizabeth II replaced the Old County Hall after Cornwall County Council determined the previous location was insufficient for operations.

The central courtyard contains the 'Rock Form, Porthcurno' sculpture by Barbara Hepworth and displays a collection of modern art, including Alfred Wallis paintings.

The building functions as the headquarters of Cornwall Council, housing administrative offices, council chambers, and public meeting spaces for local governance.

The council chamber extends from the main building on the first floor through a cantilevered design on the eastern facade.
