Project Description
Construction at 12th Avenue and Alder Street in Seattle’s Central District began in the Summer of 2017. The new center will open in late 2019, and the parking garage is scheduled to open in 2021. The voter approved Children and Family Justice Center will replace an outdated Youth Services Center with a trauma-informed facility that provides modern youth and family court services as well as a flexible and therapeutic juvenile detention center. King County has contracted with Howard S. Wright, a Balfour Beatty company, to design and build a facility that will include a courthouse for juvenile court and dependency court, juvenile detention, a parking structure and public open areas.
Project areas by the numbers
- Courthouse: 137,000 square feet with ten courtrooms, an increase of three courtrooms and
40,000 square feet. - Juvenile Detention: 81,800 square feet with 112 detention beds, a reduction of 100 detention
beds. Design allows for flexibility to reduce detention space in the future. - Youth Program Space: 10,200 square feet initially part of detention has been converted to nondetention
youth program space because of reductions in the juvenile detention population. - Parking Garage: The 360-stall structure’s top floor will be at ground level on its north side and
two floors above ground on its south side. - Public Open Areas: 1.55 acres of the site will be open area. That includes the Alder Connection –
a pedestrian and bicycle pathway that will reconnect East Alder Street between 12th and 14th
Avenues after a 50-year closure – space on the corner of East Remington Court and 14th Avenue
that allows for integration with the City of Seattle’s planned woonerf, and public plaza space
facing 12th Avenue.
Project Budget: $242 million.
Current Construction GMP (April 2019): $171.2 million.
