Bob Lanier Public Works Building, Public administration skyscraper in Houston, United States
The Bob Lanier Public Works Building reaches a height of 410 feet with 27 floors, standing as the 41st tallest structure in Houston.
The building, completed in 1968, occupies the former location of the Rice Hotel Family Laundry and Houston Lighting & Power office building.
The architectural design draws influence from Eero Saarinen's CBS Building in New York City, incorporating modernist elements into its structural composition.
The building houses multiple municipal departments, including Houston Public Works, the 3-1-1 service center, and the Office of Business Opportunity.
In 1999, the structure underwent a $43 million renovation to transform the former Electric Building into a central administrative hub for city operations.
