The project totals 158,000 square feet, including a new sheriff's department, 100-bed jail facility, a new court system and a health and human services department. The project was completed nearly $1 million dollars under budget. The new justice center allowed 150+ county employees to move out of a dated court house built in 1898 where many of them worked in dark, cramped offices. The new facility's 100 jail cells also addressed the need for Green Lake county to house inmates in facilities in other counties when the court house's 37 cells were filled. The project earned a Build Wisconsin Award in the category of General Contractor New Construction.
