The Town of Brookfield, located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is seeking proposals from qualified architectural firms for professional services to develop the Brookfield Community Center on the site of the former Center Elementary School. The project involves comprehensive architectural design for creating spaces that will include the Brookfield Library, Parks & Recreation Department offices, recreation areas, and town gathering spaces.
