About

The Law Enforcement Administration Building Construction Project includes the demolition of the old jail building, the construction of a new Guilford County Sheriff's Office headquarters, and the removal of the current Otto Zenke structure for parking.

In February 2024, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved a $26.67 million contract with Blum-WC, a Joint Venture between Winston-Salem based Blum Construction and Winston-Salem-based WC Construction, to complete construction of a new law enforcement administration building. Blum-WC is serving as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the project.

Projected Project Timeline

Demolition of the old jail began in February 2024. As of September 2024 demolition was completed. Following the demolition of the old jail, construction of the new law enforcement building has stared; construction is expected to last 17 months. The building is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Demolition of the Otto Zenke structure and parking lot will follow the completion of the new building and is expected to take about two months. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2026.
