Bringing court and support services under the one roof
The new facility brings court and support services under the one roof to provide a more integrated and efficient justice system.
Key facts
- £1 million saved through value engineering.
- Precast concrete columns for intricate facade created offsite to save time on build.
- £9 million social value achieved through our community development work.
- 99.94% of site waste diverted from landfill.
The key to the successful delivery of this landmark development has been the collaboration with Robertson and a real focus on delivery.

The building includes video link facilities for young and vulnerable people.
