County Administration Building Project
The County Administration Building Project, located at Weber and San Joaquin Streets, is intended to consolidate several support and service departments and administrative functions into a new, efficient, user-friendly facility that will accommodate projected staff growth for the next several decades. Departments that will occupy the new building are currently housed in various downtown Stockton locations, either County-owned or leased.
Tenants
The departments anticipated to be located in the new facility (and their current locations) include:
- Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk (Canlis Building, Pacific State Bank)
- Auditor-Controller ( Canlis Building )
- Board of Supervisors /Clerk of the Board (Courthouse)
- County Administrator (Courthouse)

- Treasurer-Tax Collector-Revenue and Recovery (500 East Main Street and 220 N. San Joaquin Street)
Building Information
The new building will be 6 stories in height and contain approximately 250,000 gross square feet. Those departments that have the most contact with the public will be located on the lower two levels of the building. Design concepts were developed to maximize use of natural lighting and accessibility to window areas; incorporate flexible work area configurations; include as many cost-effective “green building” features as possible; and facilitate convenient access to services. The Building will be LEED Certified. (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design)
Lobby Description
"The Lobby design weaves together the imagery of San Joaquin County; providing a dynamic iconographic abstraction of the region. It is a powerful, light filled space sure to elicit a "wow response" from visitors. Mountains, agriculture and the port are three key thematic elements from the regions past and present woven together to create the whole. The glass volume of the atrium sets the tone for the entire space communicating the openness of government and the dynamic nature of downtown Stockton. The design for the stone flooring at the lobby was inspired by the agrarian farming patterns outside of Stockton. Differing granite hues form abstracted representations of rural land parcels. A stone "canal" bisects the space tying together the interior and exterior water features of the plaza and lobby while simultaneously providing for clarity of way-finding for the public. This gesture reinforces Stockton role as being the "Harbor of the Heartlands" - tying government to the trade, industry and agricultural innovation from which this title originated. Our grand stair combines all three themes into a single iconographic focal point for the space. A flight of nine glass treads flow up to a rocky oratory platform above the agrarian ground plan. A waterfall feature is incorporated into this intermediate landing. It symbolically flows down to the canal, traveling past and through the farmlands, and then outward to the plaza where it empties into a large public fountain. The Lobby design takes a holistic approach to the space. It reads as one integrated design concept in it's telling of the story of Stockton."
Funding
The budget estimate for this project is approximately $109 million and will be funded with a combination of County General Fund monies and bond proceeds. The construction contract with Hensel Phelps is $92,860,000.
