Safety & Justice Center Rehabilitation

Project Status

Structural Preservation Systems/Saunders crews have completed the project and are working on punchlist items. The new north facility entrance leading to the Public Safety Lobby is open. JR Harris and Company along with PEH Architects and Professional Engineering Consultants completed the rehabilitation and design. This brings this essential facility up to current design standards while increasing the functionality of the building by providing increased safety features and additional operational space. Improvements to the Dispatch 911 Call Center were also completed in 2023.

Prominent locations for new commission public art have been provided. 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 administratormailto:aipp@longmontcolorado.gov for more information.

In November of 2018, Longmont voters approved revenue bonds for funding the rehabilitation and improvements of several city buildings. This included 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. Their goal was to extend the life expectancy of these City of Longmont facilities.

A new parking garage, adjacent to the Safety and Justice Center, began construction in January, 2026. View the Safety and Justice Parking Garage project webpage.
