Carlisle Civic Centre, Modernist town hall in Rickergate, Carlisle, England
The Carlisle Civic Centre features an 11-story office block connected to a two-story civic suite with an octagonal council chamber elevated on stilts.
The construction of this £820,000 municipal building began in 1964 to replace the previous town hall and centralize local government departments across Carlisle.
The council chamber contains a large back-lit mural created by Trewin Copplestone in 1965, depicting local scenes throughout the building's interior spaces.
Following a £3.6 million refurbishment scheme approved in 2020, the building serves as a meeting venue for the Cumberland Council administrative functions.
The building's construction employed Storiform formwork techniques, incorporating reinforced concrete framework with mosaic cladding and precast aggregate panels.
