Case Engineering’s structural team has partnered with DILLE POLLARD Architecture to provide earthquake-resistant structural design for a new city hall in New Madrid, MO. St. Louis, MO — When complete, the new single-story, 6,242-square-foot building will house the city’s administration offices at its south end, public areas at the central core, and the council chambers at its north end. The new city hall is under construction at 331 Main Street in downtown New Madrid on city-owned land where a two-story commercial building once stood. The Mississippi River town of New Madrid is the county seat of New Madrid County in Missouri’s boot heel region.
