OKANOGAN COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT
Okanogan, WA
A project to study and design a new Superior Court for Okanogan County. The project began as an evaluation and space study for renovation and improvement of a former Forest Service office building to convert it into a modern facility to house all Superior Court functions, including multiple full courtrooms and hearing rooms, improved space for the court clerk, offices for court administration, secure transport entry and holding space for prisoner defendants, jury selection and lounge space, security checkpoint entry, central lobby, and spaces for attorney/client meetings, prosecutor trial offices, and witness/victim secure waiting areas. Currently, we are evaluating alternative locations and strategies for development to address staff concerns regarding distance between other county functions and the former Forest Service building.
OKANOGAN COUNTY
SHERIFF & CORONER STORAGE
Okanogan, WA
A project to design and oversee construction of a new building that will house an up-to-date morgue, offices for a law enforcement task force, a large, enclosed storage area for Sheriff’s Department specialty vehicles, and a covered, outdoor vehicle storage bay for vehicles that do not require secure storage or weather protection. Current facilities on the site are woefully deficient and in significant disrepair, so multiple dilapidated structures are scheduled to be torn down. The site will be built up at the new building area to prevent flooding when the Okanogan River rises significantly above the ordinary high water elevation.
OKANOGAN COUNTY
