Hoefer Welker was selected by the City of Northglenn, Colorado, to design a new justice center, which will include a new police department and municipal courthouse. The new 48,000-sq.-ft. facility will replace an outdated police station, a current multipurpose room used as city council chambers, and the municipal courtroom.
The new justice center will stand prominently on the site, highly visible from I-25, and will capture mountain views to the west. The building’s exterior design will reflect the regional vernacular. Solar panels and battery backup are being studied to power the facility. Large windows and clerestories will provide abundant natural light.
