1 MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNTY CAMPUS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

2 What is the County Campus Redevelopment Plan? Six individual construction projects in downtown Norristown Completed through 2025 Projects will address: Service, operational, and energy inefficiencies Worsening safety risks Increasingly inadequate office and parking space And will: Prepare and modernize County buildings to serve current and future residents of Montgomery County Help to catalyze development in Norristown

3 Why is the County Campus Redevelopment Plan needed? Court and County administration operations are inefficiently distributed across campus and satellite facilities, and additions to historical Courthouse have complicated circulation. Court-related operations are in different facilities, housed both in Court buildings and OMP Within the Courthouse building complex (including the historic courthouse, courthouse annex, and base floor addition), no secure circulation route for judges or detainees is available Available courtroom and hearing room space is inflexible, and many rooms are incorrectly configured per modern justice facility design principles Space limitations dictate that the County incurs lease costs for departmental locations that could otherwise be centrally consolidated in owned space Coordinated security measures (such as access control) that would assure staff and visitor safety are neither present nor possible based on current configuration

4 Why is the County Campus Redevelopment Plan needed? County court and office buildings are plagued by age, poor initial design, and compromised integrity, resulting in inefficient systems and safety issues. Years of water and air infiltration through One Montgomery Plaza envelope cause a threat to public safety as failing infrastructural systems can result in exterior bricks falling off the building Sidewalk scaffolding and building fabric were put up as protective measure Water and air continually infiltrates through deficient roofing and façade Courthouse parking garage has experienced structural failure in certain locations, rendering portions of the garage unusable Constant water infiltration through Court building envelope necessitates ongoing major repair efforts and relocation of staff into inadequate space

5 Why is the County Campus Redevelopment Plan needed? Hancock Square park is an inhospitable and underutilized public space. Hampered by current configuration and the fortress-like presence of the Main Street Courthouse entrance, the corner bound by Swede and Main streets is perceived to have hampered retail and residential development in Norristown.

6 Why is the County Campus Redevelopment Plan needed? Minimum repairs and renovations would require major capital investment with no provision for the future of Montgomery County or Norristown. Minimum effort would require an estimated $180 million, would not address any space consolidation, parking, or public space issues, and would do no planning for future Montgomery County needs

7 What will the County Campus Plan achieve? Successful execution will: Plan for the next 100 years, and build facilities to support that plan Revise the campus to serve as a public destination place for the County Reflect, through design and construction, the greatness and diversity of the County Help catalyze other development in Norristown Provide modern, accessible facilities for the people of Montgomery County Promote responsible development and design practices Balance security and accessibility

17 How will Montgomery County manage the work the County Campus Plan Involves? Plan projects are complex: Each of the six projects individually represents the largest projects undertaken by Montgomery County Plan will be executed in occupied buildings, amidst government services that must be publicly accessible throughout the duration of the project Focus on maximizing return on investment while recognizing many opportunities for budget and schedule overruns

18 How will Montgomery County manage the work the County Campus Plan Involves? Learning from neighboring counties, precedent within our own county, and from industry best practices, the County has implemented management measures to deliver project, focused on three requirements: 1. Adhere to project budget and schedule 2. Incorporate input from all applicable stakeholders 3. Ensure transparency and communication throughout all phases
