2026 Additions & Renovations for Randall County Justice Center in Canyon, TX

Randall County Justice Center Additions

The Randall County Justice Center, located at 2309 Russell Long Blvd. in Canyon, is undergoing a significant expansion to enhance its judicial and administrative capabilities. The project, filed under the name 2026 Additions & Renovations for Randall County Justice Center, involves adding an administrative wing and a new county courtroom to the existing structure. This addition brings the total scope of work to 10,000 sq ft, representing a substantial investment in the county’s legal infrastructure.

Owner Randall County has engaged SPM Architects to lead the design for this $6,500,000 undertaking. The estimated cost per square foot for the project is $650, which is notably higher than the median of $126 per sq ft for similar additions to existing buildings in Randall County. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in October 2026, with Leslie Kit Carter serving as the registered accessibility specialist. This registration ensures that the new additions comply with state accessibility standards for public buildings.

TDLR completed the plan review in November 2026 and construction is scheduled to finish in February 2028, with work starting December 2026. The scheduled build window of 421 days is longer than the county median of 238 days for this type of work. The project involves public funds and public land, marking it as a significant public works initiative for the region. The filing indicates a clear timeline for the completion of these critical facilities.

SPM Architects has a history with public projects in the area, including work on the Randall County Fire Station No. 1 and the Youth Center of the High Plains. Randall County also has other registered projects, such as the Texas Panhandle War Memorial, which is now closed. The Justice Center additions are part of a broader effort to modernize and expand the county’s facilities. The project’s cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of similar filings in the last 24 months.

The ZIP code 79015, where the Justice Center is located, has a population of about 23,217 and a median household income of $81,351. Housing in the area is mostly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $267,900.
