The new Northglenn Justice Center is now in the design phase of the process, and it’s looking awfully good.

 

Since Hoefer Wysocki Architecture LLC was contracted to create the design this February, they have been hard at work designing a building that will meet the needs of the Police Department, Municipal Court and the residents of Northglenn into the future.

Because the building will overlook Interstate 25 and be highly visible, we are creating a landmark – one residents and travelers will identify as being with the city of Northglenn. The building will be two stories, with the Municipal Court and police functions requiring public access on the main floor, and police functions not requiring public access on the bottom level.

The new center will be on a six-acre site owned by the city in the area of 112th Avenue and Community Center Drive, near the water towers.

A new center has been needed for some time, as the current space simply became too small and the existing infrastructure is unable to accommodate modern police standards.

A 2014 assessment identified spatial and functional needs and the plan for a new building started to move forward.

The cost of the building is $18M; additional ancillary costs put the total in the $21-$23M range. Completion will be in the fall of 2018.

A public open house and tours will be held after completion so that everyone can see the new Justice Center.
