CIVIC CAMPUS & COMMUNITY CENTER
WHAT'S UP WITH...
New Civic Campus Phase 1 of the Chanhassen Civic Campus is nearly complete! This initial phase, which includes City Hall, Council Chambers and the Senior Center, will open later this year. Construction crews are finishing the siding, installing windows, preparing the site for paving and applying the interior finishes. The new City Hall was designed with residents in mind, featuring an improved service counter, enhanced accessibility and a seamless connection to the Chanhassen Library for easy access to city services and educational resources. We’ll officially welcome the new building with a public open house this fall. Residents will be invited to come explore the fresh, modern space and learn more about what’s inside. The Senior Center—designed specifically for adults 55+—includes enrichment spaces, areas for social events, a heated walkway and a covered outdoor patio perfect for pop-up events, casual gatherings or simply enjoying the view. We can’t wait to welcome you to this new hub for connection, service and community life.
Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center Since voters approved funding for the Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center last fall, the city has taken major steps forward. A design team—led by BKV Group and supported by The Sports Facilities Companies—has been selected and planning is well underway. Staff and City Council toured nearby centers, held multiple design workshops and secured a 13-acre site at Powers Blvd. and Hwy 212. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026. Recent discussions have focused on layout, walkability and energy efficiency, with strong interest in a geothermal HVAC design and flexible programming. Preliminary site concepts are currently under review. In June, the City Council approved the sale of $13.185 million in bonds to fund land and design costs, locking in a favorable interest rate and affirming the city’s AAA credit rating. We remain committed to keeping residents informed and involved throughout the process and will soon share opportunities for you to add your input.
