Demolition of the Charles F. Hurley state offices building is no longer likely because of objections from the Massachusetts Historic Commission and preservationists, state officials confirmed Thursday.

The Baker administration is looking for private developers to partner on a redevelopment of the West End property.

Earlier presentations by the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance included options such as a full or partial demolition of the 327,000-square-foot building, which houses offices for the Department of Unemployment Assistance and other labor and workforce agencies. The concrete structure has poor energy performance and requires an estimated $200,000 in repairs, according to DCAMM.

At a virtual meeting Thursday, DCAMM officials acknowledged that the demolition option is unlikely because of a groundswell from preservationists. The building is part of the Government Services Center complex designed in the 1960s by modernist architect Paul Rudolph.

“We’ve heard from so many people who think that would be problematic from a cultural heritage standpoint,” said Abi Vladeck, DCAMM senior project manager.

The complex is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, giving the Massachusetts Historic Commission the authority to review changes to the property.

The new direction doesn’t rule out the prospects for a major development on the site, which is zoned for buildings up to 400 feet. The Lindemann Mental Health Center building, designed by Rudolph, is not part of the redevelopment site.

Draft design guidelines released by DCAMM this week said proposals should “creatively adapt and reuse as much of the existing building as possible while also meeting other Commonwealth goals.”

Those include office space for state workers currently working in 25 state- and privately-owned buildings in downtown Boston.

The private developer would ground-lease the property and be responsible for permitting and financing the project.
