Dean Roberts has been practicing Ju r y membe rs architecture since 1980. He undertook his first of many justice architecture projects 25 years ago. He became intrigued with the idea of creating a civic architecture expressive of the unique features of public safety buildings in 1991. Mr. Roberts endeavors to design by leveraging an in-depth understanding of police operations to create buildings that enable public safety professionals to become more effective and efficient. He has achieved recognition from police clients and architectural colleagues for his uniquely collaborative approach and passion for good design. Many of the projects he has led have received awards for planning and design excellence. jfro9o8 vi Jur community inwhichsheresides. many offices in various groups, both system in and the in court the held has and groups planning and boards, committees, many on served has Tinnell Ms. Courts. the of Office Administrative the for working and presidingjudge, the to assistant judicial a as working peace, the of pro-temporejustice a as court—serving the of areas all in and positions various in system court the in years 30 almost for worked has She Management.

Jury’s Statement

The design team states that “judicial for children should be different than judicial for adults,” and this project succeeds in creating a welcoming environment that addresses the special needs of a judicial environment for children. The design has an innovative programming approach that includes all the different support agencies within the building to provide more convenient access for families who use the facility. The courthouse is located in downtown Miami on a brownfield site that was selected because of its adjacency to other court facilities and to mass transit, allowing easier pedestrian access. The building frames a shaded public plaza that is visually connected to the lobby and the upper court floors. The project also demonstrates a strong commitment to public art, with installations integrated in the public plaza and throughout the building, and supports the multicultural values of Dade County. A lower lobby element has a green roof visible from the court floors. The building is on target for LEED Silver certification without any additional cost and incorporates numerous sustainable design initiatives, including a high-performance building skin. jfr o8 18 Architect’s Statement

The courthouse is to be a “signature building” within the framework of downtown Miami, conceived as a facility especially designed as a judicial environment for children. From early programming decisions to the choice of building materials, the process has been one that reflects the importance of value-driven justice and care. The design solution gives considerable attention to sustaining the multicultural values surrounding children in the justice system in Dade County and to carrying that attention through all aspects of design, including the aim of achieving a Silver LEED-certified courthouse. Sustaining the environment extends to sustaining basic values regarding the care of children who find themselves participants in the justice system, either as dependents or delinquents. The design of an environment that is nonthreatening, but judicial for children should be different than one for adults. Sustaining family values through the complexity of proceedings in juvenile court is more than “lip service” and, if properly considered, impacts the size, type, and configuration of spaces as well as scale and choice of materials. 19 c itation s jfro9 20 Estimated dateofcompletion2012 Construction documentsphase Status ofproject $134 million Total costofconstruction 371,500 GSFnew Area ofbuilding 3.38 acres Site area New Type ofconstruction Court, juvenile Type offacility Data Miami Miami-Dade County Owner 21 citations Credits Architect HOK Miami In joint venture/association with Perez & Perez Architects Planners Inc.

ansion Architect’s Statement

Community identity, adjacency to the existing judicial complex, as well as a progressive management approach are among the most important influences that informed the design of this detention center. The historic community that hosts this regional facility was concerned with the potentially disquieting nature of an expansion of the county detention center. Although it has operated for many years without incident, the neighbors have grown displeased with the modern vernacular of the existing detention facility as well as the adjacent 1970s-era modern courthouse and its recent expansion. The community insisted that the project be built away from their historic city center. The county determined that it could not efficiently operate two separate facilities, nor could it afford to abandon the existing facility with its secure connection to the courthouse. As the architects, we were asked to propose a solution to help heal this divisive situation. We understood the problem as being more rooted in conflicting identity and image than operational compatibility. We began with a comprehensive master plan that recognized the historic assets of the city. We focused on two adjacent, turn-of- the century, historic buildings. The fortuitous spatial relationship between the Bennett School and Old Courthouse gave inspiration for a new “Judicial Green” that is planned to replace surface parking and low-scale buildings with a public park to give foreground to the two historic buildings. The exterior design of the detention center expansion reflects the historic context and city character. Through the addition of a proposed connecting colonnade and new court entry pavilion, the existing courthouse will serve well as a background building. The new public face for the detention center not only expresses respect for its unique community but also reflects the progressive philosophy through which it manages its inmates, visitors, and staff. 23 c itation s jfro9 24 Completed 2008 Status ofproject $53,042,364 Total costofconstruction 1,800 GSFrenovated 148,461 GSFnew Area ofbuilding 6.27 acres Site area Addition Type ofconstruction Detention Type offacility Data Woodbridge, VA Prince WilliamCountyGovernment Owner 25 citations Credits Architect HOK DC Washington, engineer Structural/mechanical/electrical Hankins and Anderson Richmond, VA Security consultant Services Latta Technical Plano, TX Food service/laundry consultant Inc.
