To continue preparations for city offices to move into the new Civic Center, Newport Beach City Hall will be closed from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11. It will reopen at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12. All City Hall offices and public counters will be closed during the afternoon and early evening of March 11, but City staff will remain on-site to sort and scan documents, consolidate files, and otherwise prepare for the move date.
It is anticipated that City Hall will move from its current location at 3300 Newport Boulevard to its new location at 100 Civic Center Drive (near Coast Highway and Avocado) in early April. The move is tentatively scheduled to occur on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6. The City’s current data center, telephone system and all staff computers will be moved during this time period in addition to paper files, plans and records.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the data center and restoring the more than 200 staff computers will be the most time-consuming element of the move. Therefore, City Hall is expected to be closed from Friday, April 5 through at most Wednesday, April 10. (If the move can be completed more quickly, offices and public counters will reopen sooner.) City Hall staff will report to work during this period to help unpack and prepare the new building.
