Bethel Town Hall

Arnold & Scangas Architects completed a feasibility study for restoration and renovation of “The Old Town Hall” in 1999. During the following decade the town pursued many different fundraising options and finally passed a bond in late 2009. During phase II of the project Arnold & Scangas Architects developed construction documents and provided construction administration. A full renovation of the lower level provides office space for the local historical society while the great hall has been restored to its original grandeur to provide public space for town gatherings. A significant part of the renovations included providing full access for disabled individuals. Energy-efficient clad windows, additional insulation, standing seam metal roofing, exterior brick restoration and an energy efficient heating system were all included in the renovation in order for the building to provide years of service for the town.
