CLEMSON — Clemson City Council has agreed to meet with a representative of DP3 Architects on Tuesday night to discuss future renovations to City Hall.

The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m., one hour prior to the council meeting moved from Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.

City Administrator Rick Cotton reminded council during a special work session Monday night that council has endorsed the concept of constructing four additions, two on each level of City Hall to allow for at least two new offices. Council members could use one of the offices to meet with the public and private sector.

“You don’t have that now,” Cotton said. “You could shut the door and have a little privacy. There’s niceties here (with the proposed improvements), but they’re functional niceties.”

Cotton said the additional space would not consist of anything elaborate.

“Based on the way the building was constructed, we’re not talking about Class A office space,” he said. “We’re not trying to exude a Fortune 500 appearance.”

Last January, Michael Pry, of DP 3 Architects, recommended to council that Clemson’s planning and engineering offices be relocated to City Hall. City officials said moving those offices to City Hall would provide more “one stop shopping” for customers — especially for planning and codes.

The architectural firm is also examining the city’s administration, finance and municipal court needs.

Cotton said the expansion of City Hall would cost about $2.4 million, with monies derived from the sale of national wireless and tax increment financing.

“This project is a capital project and would be an appropriate place to spend money,” Cotton said.

City officials also stated last January that the current planning and codes building is in need of “serious upkeep and renovations.” Mayor Larry Abernathy Monday night emphasized his desire to continue seeing the building used in a productive manner even after planning and codes moves to City Hall.

“We could have a police substation and a second floor is needed to use for office space,” Abernathy said.

At Tuesday’s special called meeting, Cotton said the DP3 representative will explain the three different contractual options and seek input from council members.
