When the Leon County Commission chose Johnson Peterson Architects to design the Sheriff’s Administration Building, it was very clear; this project must remain in budget and be delivered on time! Because the new facility was funded by the 1% supplemental sales tax, it could have been politically explosive.
The structural frame alone remained from a former jail. All else is new construction. In addition to offices, the facility includes a crime lab, secure evidence rooms, the County 911 Call Center, a fitness center, holding cells and the operations center. The 43,000 SF building was completed on time in 1994 and was constructed within the $4.3 million budget.
