The Frank J. Guarini Justice Complex is a judicial complex under construction in Jersey City, New Jersey, scheduled for completion in 2024. The complex, which will comprise a five-story building, a one-and-a-half-story building, and a six-story parking garage, will be replacing the Hudson County Administration Building that was built in 1957.[3][4] The complex is named after New Jersey Democratic politician Frank J. Guarini.

Design
The complex, while sharing a single foundation, includes three buildings: a five-story offices and courthouses, a one-and-half story building for Surrogate court, and a six-story, 471-space parking garage.[3][5] The parking garage will have shorter floors than the main building, allowing the five-story courthouse to overhang the six-story garage. A three-story ramp will connect the lobby with the main courthouse, providing access while avoiding the higher security lower levels.[4][5]

Security
The building will have several structural safety features, including ballistic rated windows and protection from a total collapse due to an explosion.[5] The new complex will also seek to address security issues that the previous building had, including separate entrances for the public, staff, and inmates, as well as having areas with differing levels of security based on their function.[3]
