City of Austin Municipal Court & Police Substation

This City of Austin facility will constitute an adaptive reuse of a former Home Depot and will house a municipal court and police substation. The footprint of the facility is 108,000 sf and is sited on a high elevation near the interstate highway in north central Austin.

The scope of this project is to provide 66,000 sf of renovated space to include general administrative areas, prosecutors’ offices, judges’ offices, a large courtroom, medium courtrooms, marshals’ offices with holding rooms and public waiting areas/rooms, as well as several separate, designated spaces to serve as a police substation within the facility. The substation will require 26,000 sf of conditioned office space, community meeting space, report-taking space and public service counter. Of the remaining 16,000 sf, some or all of that space may be used for commercial or community rental space.

There will be shared common space and infrastructure to accommodate visitors and staff of both the municipal court and police substation. The site work will include parking for 600 secured and unsecured spaces.
