The Brookens Administrative Center is the central office for the Champaign County Head Start/Early Head Start program.

Several agencies, including Urbana Park District, Senior Services, Planning and Zoning, Auditors Office, Mental Health Board, Circuit Clerk, and County Board, rent office space in order to meet the community’s needs. Champaign County Head Start is a program of the Regional Planning Commission located in Pod 100 of the Brookens Administrative Center.
