City Facilities
Civic Complex to Break Ground this Fall
Construction Documents are nearing completion for the City of Wylie's new civic complex which includes a 45,737 sq. ft. City Hall, 47,159 sq. ft. Recreation Center and 43,934 sq. ft. Library. Approved by voters during the 2005 Bond Program, the complex will be located on the East side of FM 1378 between Brown Street and FM 544.
Designed by nationally known firms Architexas and Holzman Moss Architecture, the complex features green building and energy saving initiatives. Many of the materials are native to Texas including Austin Stone and Mesquite ingrain flooring. Special consideration was taken to ensure that the unique, one-of-a-kind, design compliments the beautiful landscape and takes full advantage of the open meadow, sloping topography, trees and creek. The area is the perfect location for future events and walking trails. And with one of the largest back porches in Texas, it's sure to be the community gathering place of choice for Wylie residents and visitors from across the Metroplex.
If the civic center was built today, FM 1378 would run through the breezeway between the Recreation Center and City Hall. In preparation of construction late fall/early winter, a temporary bypass on FM 1378 will be built in the coming months. Re-construction of FM 1378 from FM 544 to Parker Road continues with utility relocations. Excavation is scheduled to begin this winter on the northern section of FM 1378 from Brown Street to Parker Road.
Watch for more details on the community ground breaking to take place this fall.
