The Alajärvi administrative centre ( Finnish: Alajärven hallintokeskus) is a buildings complex in the town of Alajärvi, Finland, comprising the town 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]
Details
The town hall and health centre were completed in 1967; the parish hall became ready in 1970. [2] [3]
