Lackawanna County Government Center at the Globe

This extensive retrofit project involved a complete renovation of the former Globe Department Store to accommodate the consolidation of Lackawanna County Government offices. Prior to the purchase of this building The Palumbo Group performed a facilities inventory and needs assessment for all Lackawanna County departments, offices, personnel and storage space in use for County operations. The needs assessment identified square foot deficiencies and needs while exploring opportunities to minimize leased space and consolidate resources into county owned buildings. The accounting of existing facilities included the survey of twenty seven buildings to determine the overall square footage occupied by each county department. An interview schedule of sixty one (61) department Directors, Supervisors, and Deputy Directors was completed to define the program. Construction completed in 2018 for The Palumbo Group‘s design of this 250,000 square foot renovation transforming this city landmark into The Lackawanna County Government Center at The Globe.
