· The Broward County Judicial Complex is located at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale. The complex
includes several Wings that provide administrative and judicial functions for the Courts and features the
714,000 square-foot West Tower, opened in 2017, that houses 77 courtrooms.
o An additional $57,901,220 is programmed in FY23 & FY24 for the renovation of the Broward
County Judicial Complex’s East Wing. Planned work includes the complete renovation of all six
floors of the East Wing including new HVAC ductwork, electrical infrastructure, new finishes,
and an updated space layout. Once complete the facility will house various sections of the State
Attorney’s Office, a jury room, and the Clerk of Courts archive unit. The total estimated cost of
the East Wing Renovation is approximately $84.5 million. The additional $57.9 million allocated
in FY23 & FY24 does not fully fund the project. It is anticipated, pending the availability of one-
time funds, that the additional $4.6 million needed to fully fund the project at the current
estimate will be provided in a future fiscal year’s supplemental budget.
o In FY25-FY26, $9,976,000 is budgeted to complete renovations to the North Wing of the
Judicial Complex. The project includes upgrades to the fire alarm system, all electrical floor
outlets, and security windows. This project previously had a budget of $7,293,000 but was
reduced in the Fiscal Year 2022 Second Supplemental Budget to fund cost increases related
primarily to the 500 Car Garage project. The original funding and an additional amount needed
for cost increases is programmed to be restored in FY25-FY26.
o In FY25, $4,501,000 is programmed to add additional perimeter security features to Courthouse
Drive at the Broward County Judicial Complex. This project was previously funded at
$4,501,000 but was reduced in the Fiscal Year 2022 Second Supplemental Budget to fund cost
increases related primarily to the 500 Car Garage project. The original funding is programmed
to be restored in FY25.
o $2,073,000 is allocated in FY25 to design and construct an exterior elevator at the Broward
County Judicial Complex North Wing building to provide for private and secure transportation of
in-custody juveniles. This project previously had a budget of $1,668,000 but was reduced in the
Fiscal Year 2022 Second Supplemental Budget to fund cost increases related primarily to the
500 Car Garage project. The original funding and an additional amount needed for cost
increases is programmed to be restored in FY25.
o In FY26, $7,023,000 is allocated to modernize ten elevators within the Judicial Complex North
Wing.
o In FY26, $2,237,000 is programmed for wayfinding signage at the Judicial Complex West Tower
and surrounding areas to ease navigation to and within the judicial complex. This project’s
budget was reduced in the Fiscal Year 2022 Second Supplemental Budget by $998,449 to fund
cost increases related primarily to the 500 Car Garage project. The original funding and an
additional amount needed for cost increases is programmed to be restored in FY26.
o $3,477,000 is budgeted in FY26 to build out existing space on the 11th floor of the Broward
County Judicial Complex's West Tower for two hearing rooms and space on the 13th floor for
two judicial suites. This project previously had a budget of $990,820 but was reduced in the
Fiscal Year 2022 Second Supplemental Budget to fund cost increases related primarily to the
