Federal Defenders — Cook Builders project

The tenant improvement (TI) for the Federal Public Defender (FPD) offices, specifically for the District of Utah, involved a high-security renovation of approximately 31,000 square feet in downtown Salt Lake City.

Scope & highlights

The outcome

Due to the nature of the work, the TI required the construction of SCIF-like (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) rooms and sound-rated interview rooms to ensure attorney-client privilege and the handling of sensitive discovery materials.
