In this video, Sangamon County Board members show the progress of the renovations happening at the county building, scheduled to wrap up in late 2024. Click here to watch a walk-through video rendering of the new atrium and the new entrance to the second floor. 
In an effort to modernize and update the Sangamon County building and connect it to the new Hub, leaders have designed and are building a new entrance to the county building. After the Hub and renovations are complete, Sangamon County residents will enter the county building through the Hub. They will be able to access most of the county's frequently used services on the first floor. 

The county board appointed two advisory committees to help with programming ideas for the newly renovated spaces including one focused on the new first floor atrium space and one focused on the newly configured second floor lobby area.

There have not been any major updates since the building was constructed in 1990.
Sangamon County leaders provide an update in January 2023 about the renovation of the county building.
The first floor atrium space will connect to the new transportation center and will provide easy access to many of the services that many Sangamon County residents need. The advisory committee that is exploring ideas for this space includes what type of art or statue should greet visitors to the county building.

The advisory committee has selected artist Troy Freeman to paint a mural for the space.
