The Durham County Justice Center is a civic building in downtown Durham, North Carolina. The $120 million building opened to the public in February 2013.[1] The building houses the Durham County Sheriff's Office, the Durham County District Attorney's Office, and has 20 courtrooms.[1] The building is 318,533 square feet and was built to LEED Gold Standards.[2][3] The Justice Center was built with sustainable materials and includes lawns on its roofs for insulation and to capture runoff.
