San Mateo County Youth Services Center
Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for the new San
Mateo County Juvenile Justice Center, a state-of-the art 300,000-squarefoot,
12-building campus. Facilities include a 180-bed juvenile hall, a 30-bed
girls’ camp, three group homes containing 24 beds to serve specific need
populations, a receiving home, juvenile courts, probation offices,
administration space, an education building, and a health clinic.
Designed to comply with the county’s sustainable design requirements, the
campus is the first facility of its kind to achieve LEED Silver certification. It
complies with the “New Generation Design” of California youth facilities and
has earned national acclaim. The structural systems include steel frame,
concrete masonry, and wood frame construction in one- and two-story
buildings. The site is less than 1.0 kilometers from the San Andreas Fault.
