SouthShore Regional Services Center
410 30th Street SE
 
South County Regional Service Center
 

Project Description:

The recently completed SouthShore Regional Services Center was created as a localized service provider for citizens of the southeastern part of the County. This 20,000 square-foot facility houses Water Resource Services, Code Enforcement, Building Services, the South Shore Community Justice Center, a bilingual Citizen Action Center representative as well as a branch location of the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court. The facility is also next to a HART Line Transit hub making this a very busy site in a rapidly growing community.

 
Artwork Goals

The selected artwork will enhance the user’s experience of the facility. Suggested themes for art may include the rural history of the area, the local habitat, or celebrating the various County government functions provided in the facility.

 
Estimated Budget: $50,000
 

Opportunities for Public Art

Several areas exist both inside and outside the facility to create public art. Opportunities for art include, but are not limited to the following:

    Entrance Lobby
    All facility patrons enter the facility through this lobby where signage and a receptionist will direct them to the appropriate office. This heavily trafficked area has large windows and lots of light.

    Exterior Wall along Driveway
    The large softly curved wall along the driveway is prominently situated at the main entrance.

    Pond
    The large retention pond at the front corner of the property is currently the most visible feature on the site.

    Conference Room
    This conference room will be used by many local groups and will include a live video hook-up for real time interaction at Board of County Commissioners meetings held downtown.

 
Estimated Budget: $50,000
