municipal center
City government building
A municipal center is a building or complex housing local government offices and services—city hall, administrative departments, sometimes courts or public meeting spaces.
The term emphasizes the consolidation of civic functions in one location: The new municipal center brings together planning, permits, and the mayor's office under one roof.
