Welcome to the Web site for the Municipal Building Commission (MBC). The MBC has served as the steward for the historic Minneapolis City Hall and Hennepin County Courthouse (also referred to as the Municipal Building) since 1904. Established as an independent board under special state legislation known as "Chapter 395, Special Laws of 1887," the MBC Board consists of county and city officials.

The MBC's mission is to provide effective and efficient services to operate, maintain and preserve the historic landmark City Hall and Courthouse building, and ensure a safe and functional environment for city and county government employees, citizens and elected officials.

Moreover, the MBC is working diligently to reintroduce history into this turn-of-the-20th-century structure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, through free public tours, events, and exhibits celebrating its architectural significance.
