Frank J. Guarini Justice Complex
OVERVIEW
Built to replace the 60-year-old County Administrative Building, the Frank J. Guarini Justice Complex features 24 courtrooms, jury assembly spaces, administrative offices, the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, the Hudson County Surrogate’s Office, and the Sheriff’s Department. Langan played an instrumental role in advancing the master plan into schematic design and preparing bridging documents that were adapted into full construction documents by the winning design-build team. Our design addressed site layout, grading, earthwork, drainage, stormwater management, utility connections, on-site vehicular and pedestrian circulation, public right-of-way improvements, and agency permitting. We also developed a thoughtful site design with pocket seating areas, a large pedestrian corridor between the courthouse and parking area, custom pavement patterns, and raised landscape beds with accent lighting.
