Henderson Justice Facility
Architect(s): HCA Architects
Address: 243 Water St.
Year: 1994
The Henderson Justice Facility is a three-story building with 113,400 square
feet of space containing a jail, two municipal justice courtrooms, offices, law
library, and conference rooms. Even though it has the same pink stucco exterior
treatment as the City Hall across the street, this building has a little more
personality. Southwest-facing windows are recessed and have both vertical and
horizontal shading devices to reduce solar exposure. The entrance is located
within a circular volume featuring a double-height wall with frosted glass that
bisects the circle. The southern end of the site features a small tree-filled
park with seating.
