Monterey County Government Center: Transforming Civic Infrastructure
Description
The Monterey County Government Center project in Salinas, California, encompassed extensive planning and renovation efforts to modernize and optimize critical administrative and judicial facilities. This comprehensive initiative included programming and planning for a new 140,000-square-foot administration building, renovating a 97,000-square-foot courthouse building, and refurbishing a 70,000-square-foot county office building.
