Ute Indian Tribal Justice Center - Corrections Construction | Layton
Structure Tone is a global leader in construction management and general contracting services with offices located in the US, UK, and Ireland. Founded in 1971, the company is among the world’s top twenty construction companies worldwide, responsible for more than $3.5B in annual construction volume.
The Ute Indian Tribal Justice Center is a jail and courts facility that includes spaces for juvenile detention, adult detention, law enforcement and courts. The facility functions under direct supervision, allowing the detention staff to build personal relationships with the inmates.
Layton was contracted as the design-assist CM/GC to build the new Uintah County Public Safety Complex, which was built to replace an outdated facility and designed to accommodate future expansion.
The existing Justice Center, originally completed in 1999, consists of a five-story building interconnected with a three-story building, totaling 197,131 GSF. The purpose of the project was to meet the needs of the county in the coming years through efficient designs and construction, along with technology.
This project consisted of a stand-alone three-story county courthouse of approximately 110,000 gross square feet situated on 19 acres on Avalon Boulevard in Milton. The building houses eight courtrooms, eight judge’s suites and all the necessary support services including a secure holding area for inmates, hearing rooms, a law library, evidence rooms, jury selection and jury deliberation spaces.
Built in 1953, the original Okaloosa County Courthouse was no longer able to keep up with the growth and demands of the community. Ajax led the Design-Build team to replace the original courthouse with a new 68,000 SF facility.
