Converse Public Safety Justice
Center/Council Chamber& Municipal Courtroom |
17,800 SF, City
of Converse Justice Center
Owner: City of Converse
Architect: Burns Fletcher Gill Architects
Method of Delivery: CM-at-Risk
Start/Completion: 03/05 - 12/05
The City of Converse Justice Center houses the
Police Department, Municipal Court and City Council Chambers.
Doubling the size of the previous justice center, the new facility
is directly across the street from its old home in the City
Hall building. Located on a 100 year flood plain, there had
to be a five (5) foot build up and 103 piers were cast in place
to allow for drainage underneath the facility.
The site, once home to a local dance hall, had to be demolished
before the new construction began. The city decided to preserve
part of the dance hall floor and had it placed in the City Council
Chambers, which also doubles the Municipal Courtroom. The floor
had to be refinished and re-stained after being placed back
into the new facility. The new Council Chambers allows seating
for up to 250 people unlike the old facility that allowed seating
for only 55 people.
The Police Department contains 6 detention cells with provisions
for full time dispatch capabilities and is able to house 52
officers at full capacity. The facility was not only constructed
for their current needs, but also for future growth. The Police
Department side of the facility also contains an Interrogation
Room, full kitchen/training room and a small weight room/gym
facility. There is also an area designed and in place for Emergency
Operation Center once the city has funded the project.
