Law & Justice Center Expansion, Renovation, and Parking Deck, McLean County

Bloomington, IL

Project Summary

The McLean County Law & Justice Center 80,000 SF expansion primarily aimed to enhance care for detainees with mental health needs. The updated facility now includes dedicated mental health units, improved classification within the general population, and optimized inmate management across genders. Additionally, the expansion supports best practices in staff-inmate communication and proactive management strategies.

Before the 2019 expansion, River City Construction had completed a 160,000 SF addition to the courthouse and jail, along with a parking deck accommodating 436 vehicles.

“On behalf of the Public Building Commission of McLean County, Illinois, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to you and the entire team at River City Construction for your extraordinary efforts on the McLean County Law & Justice Center Expansion Project.

Ultimately, through tremendous hard work, you and River City Construction have enabled the Public Building Commission to further the public interest. The expansion to the McLean County Law & Justice Center will long stand as a testament to the good work of River City Construction.”

– Thomas Novosad, Chairman and Robert Porter, Counsel
