2010 Capitol Complex Master Plan Update
Updating the Master Plan for the Capitol Complex is an exciting opportunity to realize original visions and identify new goals. The West Capitol Terrace fulfilled a long-standing vision for an open, welcoming entrance to the Capitol from downtown Des Moines. On the other end of campus, a model “green” building is being constructed – something the original visionaries for the Capitol grounds never could have imagined.
The goal for the 2010 update is to create a master plan with a world-class vision by combining sustainable design principles and recognizing the historical significance of our buildings and grounds. We will work to make this a living document – not just a prescription. We look forward to working with state employees and all Iowans as we develop a plan for a more efficient, sophisticated, accessible and sustainable Capitol Complex.
