About
Walla Walla
The county government in the city of Walla Walla administers life in the
county of the same name. Walla Walla County is located in the southeastern
portion of the State of Washington and the 2000 census reported
a population of 55,180. Washington state’s first constitution was ratified
in Walla Walla County and was where United States Supreme Court Justice
William O. Douglas received part of his education. It is the home of
significant vineyards and produces many of America’s apples.
Their
Need
County government in Walla Walla was running out of room. The sheriff
and court offices were cramped. Facilities, built at the turn-of-the 20th
century, were more than dated and the prosecutor’s office leased space
in a distant building. County government wanted to consolidate and
modernize. Additionally, the community, demanded the new building
should compliment existing structures in an award winning-downtown.
Our
Solution
Construction of the facility began in May of 2003 and was completed that
September. The 15,984 square foot building was constructed with maximum
security in mind; remote controlled doors, video monitoring and a
collection of other modern security features. It also consolidated the offices
of county government corrections in one place with room to grow.
Finally, the building itself has become a source of pride in Walla Walla.
With a gray stucco exterior surrounding
large arched windows,
an Italianate roofline and architectural
touches to make the elevator
tower resemble a period
feature, the building has satisfied
preservationists, as well as
county officials. |
