Island County Administration Building

SHKS designed a new administration building for Island County on Camano Island, bringing a number of County departments, the Sheriff's Department, and a public meeting room under one roof. The generous public reception area, service counter, and collaborative workspaces enable Island County staff to better serve the residents of Camano Island. A large public meeting space and several conference rooms are available for community meetings and events.

The building uses locally sourced materials, natural ventilation, and daylight to make a healthy and comfortable work place. The long span wood structure allows flexible planning to accommodate future growth.

A long public lobby gives users access to a wide variety of County services.

A flexible, open workspace enables staff to serve the Camano Island community more effectively and efficiently. Ergonomic furnishings, access to natural light, air, and views enhance health and productivity.

A large public meeting space can accommodate up to 80 people at once and can also be divided to serve smaller groups.
