The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office headquarters represents a remarkable adaptive reuse project by Vance Brown Builders, transforming the existing 38,000 square foot Maguire Correctional Facility into a modern 53,000 square foot administrative headquarters for the Sheriff's Office.
The construction involved manipulating the existing precast skin, adding an additional floor, and providing major seismic enhancements, requiring the building to be reduced to a skeleton before introducing its new use with an entirely new MEP system and interior layout. The five-story facility is built on the former site of the Old Maguire Jail and now houses ten major bureaus under one roof, creating a more accessible and modern facility for community services.
