Centro cívico de Santa Rosa, Government building in Santa Rosa, Argentina

The Centro Cívico de Santa Rosa is an administrative complex with massive concrete surfaces and bold geometric forms that house the city's offices and public services. The structure features characteristic brutalist design elements with strong lines and organized interior spaces for multiple departments.

In 1955 the Sociedad Central de Arquitectos held a competition for the civic centre of La Pampa, created as a province in 1952; the jury chose a project by the then little-known Clorindo Testa with Boris Dabinovic, Augusto Gaido and Francisco Rossi. Construction began in 1958 after the return of democratic government, and the first stage, the Casa de Gobierno and the bus terminal, opened in 1963. The Palacio Legislativo followed between 1972 and 1976, and the library was added in 2006.

The Biblioteca de la Cámara de Diputados, added in 2006, was designed by Clorindo Testa at age 81 with local architect Miguel García. Critics describe its small, sculptural form and bright colours as a giant armadillo. The complex also includes the Terminal de Ómnibus, which links Santa Rosa with Buenos Aires.

The building sits at a central location in the city and is easy to reach from major roads. Visitors can explore the public areas, though some administrative sections may have restricted access.

The 2006 library annex to the legislature, designed by Clorindo Testa at age 81 with local architect Miguel García, is a small sculptural building in bright colours that critics have called a giant armadillo. It sits beside the Palacio Legislativo, which Testa built between 1972 and 1976 with Gaido, Rossi and Lacarra.
