The 114,900-square-foot facility will replace the existing aging juvenile facility and support the needs of one of Tennessee’s fastest-growing communities. Construction is expected to be completed in summer 2028.
The new center will include 32 beds and four courtrooms, with two additional courtrooms shelled for future expansion. Designed to support rehabilitation and family engagement, the facility will feature program and education spaces, therapy rooms, indoor and outdoor visitation areas and a shared dining space.
Recreation amenities will include green space, recreation yards, an outdoor basketball court and an indoor gymnasium, along with administrative offices, judicial chambers and other support areas for staff, families and community partners.
The Juvenile Justice Center is the first of several buildings planned for the Williamson County judicial campus, where additional court and corrections projects are anticipated in future phases.
“This new building is long overdue and deeply needed. I am especially excited for the dedicated staff who serve families in crisis every single day. This space provides the trauma-informed environment essential to supporting our work and helping families begin to heal,” said Williamson County Judge Shannon Guffee.
