Pulaski Justice Center and Courthouse

The Justice Center Renovation/Expansion Project is for the existing Pulaski County Justice Center. The existing Justice Center is a two-story facility consisting of approximately 65,000 square feet completed in 1996. The proposed renovations and addition include renovations to approximately 1,925 square feet of the existing office space and approximately 5,655 square feet of the existing basement in the Justice Center, the construction and equipping of a one story addition over a one story area on the north side of the existing Justice Center consisting of approximately 1,200 square feet and the construction and equipping of a two story addition consisting of approximately 6,100 square feet on the north end of the existing Justice Center. 

The two-story addition is anticipated to contain approximately 3,100 square feet on each of the two floors. The first floor of the two-story addition is current expected to consist of a covered entry, an expansion of the existing lobby and vestibule, a security desk and screening area, additional office space, the technology server room and related storage areas.

The second floor of the two story addition is currently expected to include a courtroom, vestibule, conference roof, offices and related storage areas. The one-story addition to be located above a one story section on the north side of the existing Justice Center is expected to contain two public restrooms, two meeting rooms and related storage areas. Our team worked with law enforcement to install security monitoring systems, card readers and secure the perimeter to ensure the safety of the staff.

“Working closely with Tonn and Blank on the renovation of and addition to our Pulaski County Justice Center was a remarkable experience. As a community-development professional, I had no previous experiencing overseeing a construction project, let alone a multi-million dollar improvement to a public facility that houses important offices and functions, but found myself in these uncharted waters.

From the president of the company down to our incredible project superintendent and the laborers working under him, Tonn and Blank ensured that this project succeeded in a timely and under-budget manner and that I was equipped with the necessary information at all times to make decisions or to report to our county commissioners so that they could make well-informed choices; their work for the people of Pulaski County is appreciated beyond words and a testament to the values that have driven this company for more than a century.”
