Dallas County Records Building

Our Diversified Electrical Solutions Division was pleased to be able to deliver commercial power and critical electrical components during this infrastructure renovation for the historic Dallas County Records Building, including an emergency generator, service provider vaults, light fixtures, and much more. Below are just a few of the project highlights.

The Dallas County Records Building Complex consists of three buildings: the old Dallas County Criminal Courts Building, the Dallas County Records Building, and the Records Building Annex. The site where these buildings stand today was purchased by Dallas County in 1913. This complex is composed of three approximately seven-story buildings built in 1917, 1927, and 1953. It provides offices for several hundred county employees and requires significant structural renovations to bring the buildings up to current structural standards and to meet present-day building codes. The renovation will take a number of years with an estimated total cost of $139 million.

Upon its completion, the Dallas County Records Building will be approximately 320,000 square feet, about 40,000 more square feet than its current setup. Part of the increased square footage comes from the addition of a seventh floor that will be used for special events and will be open to the public.
