County Hall, Administrative building in Glenfields, United Kingdom
County Hall stands as a five-story structure on Leicester Road, featuring continuous bands of glazing combined with concrete panels throughout its exterior design.
The construction of County Hall began in spring 1965 on open land and reached completion in November 1967, with a total cost of £1.4 million.
The council chamber contains Japanese teak and Bombay rosewood paneling, while the building displays a concrete mural depicting the River Soar by Tony Hollaway.
The building functions as the headquarters of Leicestershire County Council, with an extension added in 1970 to accommodate a computer facility.
A memorial titled Stand Easy consists of four bronze statues designed by Kenny Hunter, commemorating local residents who died since World War II.
