Summary: Clark Design/Build is leading the design and construction of the new Long Beach Court Building with AECOM as the architect of record. The Court Building is the first social infrastructure project in the United States procured under the principles of Performance‐Based Infrastructure (PBI) contracting. Total development cost is approximately $490 million, with design‐build cost of approximately $343 million. When complete, the five‐story 545,000 square‐foot building will house 31 courtrooms, as well as court administration offices, Los Angeles County lease space, and retail leasable space. The building will include below‐grade secure inmate transfer facilities, detention facilities, and separate secure parking areas for judges.
