Alajärvi administrative centre
The Alajärvi administrative centre (Finnish: Alajärven hallintokeskus) is a buildings complex in the city of Alajärvi, Finland, comprising the city hall and related offices, health centre, parish hall and other buildings.[1] It was designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, who also designed the adjacent library building.[1]
The city hall and health centre were completed in 1967; the parish hall became ready in 1970.[2][3]
The complex has been designated and protected by the Finnish Heritage Agency as a nationally important built cultural environment (Valtakunnallisesti merkittävä rakennettu kulttuuriympäristö).[2]
Aalto was born and raised near Alajärvi and had a close connection with the area, and consequently designed several buildings there.[1][4][3]
