Farnsworth Group was retained by Peoria County to conduct a detailed assessment of the existing City/ County Health Department campus, a facility that was in need of either renovation or reconstruction at a new location. This assessment analyzed both the physical and programmatic aspects of the existing campus, as well as 31 different locations for a new campus. It also comprehensively mapped where citizen-users of the campus resided inside the County.
Upon conclusion of the assessment, the County Board of Peoria decided to locate new facilities at the existing site. These facilities include the Health Department, Sustainability & Resource Conservation Department, Coroner’s Office & Morgue, and the Regional Office of Education.
Detailed project design and construction documents were completed by November 2022. Construction began in July 2023, with the completion and occupancy date attained in December 2024. They started serving clients on January 22, 2025.
