Madison Municipal Building's 'breathtaking' $30 million makeover nearly done.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 9/9/2018)
The classic stone exterior, interior woodwork and other finishes are artfully restored. Contemporary work spaces and spacious meeting rooms with state-of-the-art technology await. Natural light pours through broad windows. After a two-year, $30.2 million renovation, the landmark Madison Municipal Building has been transformed from a neglected, worn, cluttered, diamond in the rough to a civic treasure for both employees and the public.

Unfortunately, I didn't have access to the large public meeting room on the 2nd floor, as it was in use.
