The project began with a facility needs assessment for both the Hurst Police Department and the City’s Municipal Courts. The study had three primary goals: determining current and long-term spatial needs, evaluating whether a joint or separate facility would best serve the city, and analyzing potential sites for the project. The study concluded that a joint police and courts facility on City-owned property adjacent to Hurst City Hall and the existing Police Building was the most suitable solution.
The four-story Hurst Justice Center provides a total of 90,000 square feet of space, including 27,000 square feet of renovated space within the existing Police Building and 63,000 square feet of new construction. The facility includes a three-story, 280-car parking structure. The ground level offers public parking for court-related functions, the second level provides covered parking for police vehicles, and the third level serves police and court employees. Police and employee parking is accessed via a restricted ramp.
A major City objective was to redevelop the Justice Center and adjacent City Hall area into a pedestrian-oriented “Town Center.” To support this goal, leasable storefront display windows line the sidewalk at the ground level of the parking structure, screening the public parking areas and creating an active, pedestrian-friendly streetscape.
The ground floor houses all police and court functions requiring public access, including police records, public service officers, courtrooms, municipal court clerks, and public parking. It also accommodates restricted police operations such as property and evidence storage, the dispatch center, crime scene laboratories, CID, jail services, and the sallyport.
The Police Department sought a professional, corporate image rather than an institutional one. This was achieved through the careful selection of materials, colors, and open public spaces. Security and safety requirements were met by integrating bullet-resistant materials within perimeter walls, while service windows are constructed of bullet-resistant glass.
The second floor provides workspace for patrol, traffic, and tactical divisions, along with locker rooms, fitness facilities, and police vehicle parking. Controlled access is provided throughout the floor. The third floor contains support functions, including employee break rooms and flexible classroom training facilities. Acoustical wall panels allow the classroom to be divided into two rooms or opened into one larger space accommodating up to 120 people. Parking for police and court employees is also located on this level.
Police Administration occupies the fourth floor and includes offices, conference rooms, and workspaces. Materials, finishes, and furnishings were selected to reinforce the character of a modern corporate headquarters.
