• Fall 2025: Projected structural build back
• Summer 2026: Expected expansion and north entrance completion

Structural Rehabilitation of the Safety & Justice Center including demolition of the existing architectural precast concrete feature at the North Entrance has been successfully completed. Structural Preservation Systems/Saunders crews are now focused on building back the structure to complete that opening. This work includes a new facility entrance leading to the new Public Safety Lobby. Additional features will provide the necessary operational elements to support the building’s ongoing functions while integrating with the existing building. 

Prominent locations for new commissioned public art have been identified in the build back 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.

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 worked through the multi-staged demolition details of the deteriorating exterior precast members at the north entrance and have finalized the design of the replacement structure. These improvements will increase the functionality of the building by providing increased safety features and additional operational space.

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 were 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 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.
