The existing 28,000 SF courthouse, built in 1956, was remodeled to include Human Services, County offices, and Extension programs. The only area that did not get
remodeled was the existing Courts and Court Administrations.
A new 23,000 SF addition that includes a Law Enforcement Center, Dispatch, Emergency Operations Center, Courts Holding Facility and Vehicle Sally Port was added to
create an integrated Government Campus.
The County Sheriff's Office and City Police Department are all located within the County's building, and therefore we designed shared efficiencies such as waiting, reception,
workrooms, interview rooms, squad room, evidence storage, open office, and circulation space. Each group keeps their separate identity along with secure storage, equipment
storage, and office areas.
The plan required two levels for the Law Enforcement Center, which was kept in close proximity with a private stair for deputy use and a stair for emergency exiting only.
