Harris County, Criminal Justice Center Mitigation and Improvement

This project involves repairing and mitigating flood damage in the Harris County Criminal Justice Center’s basement and first level. Work includes restoring architectural finishes, expanding and modifying the lobby configuration to serve more visitors, constructing exterior elevator banks on the northwest and southeast sides of the building, and replacing damaged mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment to ensure a better functioning, healthier work environment. To better prepare the facility for future flood events, all basement-level MEP equipment is being relocated to the first level and water-resistant materials are being installed in the basement to allow the client to recover operations quickly. The project includes construction a 500-year flood-proof barrier to protect the building perimeter.
