Clark County Family Courts & Services Center
Architect(s): Tate & Snyder Architects (now Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects)
Address: 601 N. Pecos Rd.
Year: 1994
This 102,500 square-foot facility connects to two existing structures to create a judicial complex serving troubled children and their families. The design intent was to create an approachable building that still conveyed the formality of a courthouse. The main entrance is located on the east side of the site, fronting Pecos Road. Guests, employees, and visitors enter the complex through a small building with security equipment and personnel. A covered atrium space with a pitched roof connects three building together. The exterior of the building consists of stucco, brick, and textured CMU block.
