Virginia Beach Judicial Center

Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $35,550,000
  • Appropriated funding: $350,000
  • Project type: Rehabilitation/replacement

Description and Scope

This project will study and design the Virginia Beach Courthouse (Building 10, 10A, & 10B) to propose both intermediate and long-range modernization and recapitalization through a phased approach. 

The goal of the modernization study is to bring the current facility into the ‘21st Century’ through a combination of space reconfiguration, information technology (IT) upgrades, parking area improvements, and landscape changes to improve court proceedings, reduce security vulnerabilities, and meet other modernization goals identified by stakeholders. 

The study will produce planning level cost estimates, and conceptual renderings, drawings, and/or written scopes. Following the design of the facility, cost estimates for construction will be reflected in this project. 

Scope of work could include the need to modernize segments of the facility during the study and design phase of the project.

Purpose and Need

Constructed in 1991, the courthouse is one of the most heavily used buildings in the City with over 1,500 visitors and 300 staff using the facility on the daily basis. 

As the building continues to age, various systems and fixtures have failed, and technologies and security threats have evolved. 
Proactive and well-planned steps are required to meet the existing space to meet needs.
