The county’s new Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City will allow the Sheriff’s Office to move its headquarters out of the Hall of Justice and into the nearby Old Maguire Correctional Facility.
The old jail, which opened in 1988, will be decommissioned in October when the ground floor build-out at Maple Street is completed.
The new correctional center, at a cost of $165 million, opened last month east of Highway 101.
Moving the Sheriff’s Office headquarters out of the Hall of Justice at the County Center in downtown Redwood City will free up space for other county departments such as the Board of Supervisors and District Attorney’s Office to expand, Sheriff Greg Munks wrote in a report to the board.
The cost to convert the old 280-bed jail into new headquarters for the Sheriff’s Office will cost about $39.4 million, which includes adding a fifth floor, according to Munks’ report.
The transportation bridge which leads from New Maguire through Old Maguire over to the Hall of Justice will remain intact.
The Sheriff’s Office currently occupies about 42,500 square feet of space on three floors at the Hall of Justice.
The new headquarters will be about 60,000 square feet and allow the county to repurpose the old headquarters, according to Munks’ report.
With board approval, Munks will develop and implement remodel plans to include:
• The demolition of all interior construction including vertical core and shafts and replacement of the exterior skin;
• The addition of a fifth floor;
• An improvement in building efficiency and optimization of interior space, the construction of new staircases, elevator shafts and new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; and
• The seismic upgrade and reinforcement of the foundation and structural columns.
The old jail is a steel frame structure with concrete panels and walls.
All bureaus in the department will move to the new headquarters except the Transportation Bureau, which will remain in its small office on the fourth floor of the Hall of Justice.
The new headquarters will also have a 1,350 square-foot community room which can be used for a wide variety of events and meetings, according to Munks’ report.
There is no timeline for when the project may be completed.
