The new Government Center (city hall), constructed of reinforced concrete and glass, in the popular Brutalist style of the 1960s and 1970s opened in 1976, after years of construction delays and quality control problems.
The main buildings occupies a space further east than the original city hall, which was closer to South Main Street.
A wing of the current building, which contains the city council chambers is located at the west end of the site, closer to South Main Street.
A plaza was created north of the new city hall, between the adjacent United States Post Office.
The original scheme for the new city hall included a parking garage, that was later eliminated from the design.

The main building is a concrete cube, approximately 144 feet (44 m) square, with a smaller glass-enclosed cube forming the middle floors.
The building is set atop an elevated "basement" containing mechanical and storage areas constructed atop the steel platform which spans the highway.
The platform also includes South Main Street to the west and Second Street to the east, creating a 900-foot (274 m) long tunnel.
