Size: 175,000 SF | 180-Beds

HMN Architects teamed with Architects Alliance as the associate architect on the Cole County Law Enforcement Center to provide full-architectural and interior design services.

The Law Enforcement Center includes a new 180-bed jail and sheriff’s office, kitchen, parking garage and 42,000 SF of shell, including floor area below the housing unit for an additional 180 beds in the future. The facility also incorporates large training spaces for staff and regional instruction.

This facility was constructed a half block away from the capitol in downtown Jefferson City, Missouri. Building in the capitol city presents a unique demand on the design for both security and blending the facility into the monumental architecture of the State complex.
