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.
The town hall and health centre were completed in 1967; the parish hall became ready in 1970.[2]
The complex has been designated and protected by the Finnish Heritage Agency as a nationally important built cultural environment (Valtakunnallisesti merkittävä rakennettu kulttuuriympäristö).[3]
Aalto was born and raised near Alajärvi and had a close connection with the area, and consequently designed several buildings there.[4] The Museovirasto has classified the administrative center as a cultural site of national interest in Finland.[5]
