Safety & Justice Center Renovation - City of Longmont
The Longmont Safety and Justice Center is seen while under construction, with several signs indicating the relocated front entrance.
Timeline
  • Spring/Summer 2025: Precast demolition
  • Fall 2025: Projected structural build back
  • 2026: Expected expansion and north entrance completion

 

Project Status

Stage 4 demolition including the removal of the current public art and clocktower is underway. Prominent locations for new commissioned public art have been identified in the design. If you are interested in being notified about the future artwork or would like to serve on an artwork selection panel, please  email the AIPP administrator for more information. Stage 5 demolition includes providing the needed support for the Stage 6 demolition of the existing precast ring which is scheduled to begin later this Spring.

 

The Public Safety lobby has combined with the Longmont Court lobby and everyone entering the building must go through central security. Structural Preservation Systems has completed the majority of structural repairs to the facility. These repairs were necessary to bring this essential facility up to current design standards while increasing its life expectancy. Improvements to the Dispatch 911 Call Center were also completed in 2023.

 

JR Harris and Company along with PEH Architects and Professional Engineering Consultants are working through the multi-staged demolition details of the deteriorating exterior precast members at the north entrance and the finalizing the design of the replacement structure. These improvements will increase the functionality of the building by providing increased safety features and additional operational space.

Project Overview

In November of 2018, Longmont voters approved revenue bonds for funding the rehabilitation and improvements of several city buildings including the City of Longmont’s Safety and Justice Center. $2.9 million in bond funds has been allocated to making the needed repairs to this structure. The existing Safety and Justice Center was built in 1993 and is showing some signs of distress. The City of Longmont has contracted JR Harris and Company to complete a thorough structural investigation of this and other city buildings with the ultimate goal of extending the life expectancy to these City of Longmont facilities.
