Adolfson & Peterson Construction completed construction on the five-story, 158,250-square-foot Potter County District Courts Building in Amarillo, Texas.
Designed by HOK Group Inc., the new courthouse includes courtrooms, a jury assembly, county offices, courtroom in-custody holding and records storage. Additional amenities feature security enhancements including separate sheriff’s access with a vehicle sally port for security and safety, as well as separate access for judges and other elected officials.
Construction for the Potter County District Courts Building kicked off in March 2021. The new Courthouse is located across the street from the former District Courts Building in downtown Amarillo.
The previous District Courts Building was constructed in 1985 and the replacement building will help Potter County save on recent increasing maintenance and repair costs. Addressing the aging building was a top area of focus in the County’s 2018 Strategic Plan.
