New Construction: Update on Orange County Medical Examiner Building

with Geothermal Wells

The medical examiner staff has been working in temporary trailer facilities located at the Orange County Emergency Services Building. With a continuous increase in the number of cases, the county expressed a need for a new building that would have an exterior presence, improve day-to-day operations, and allow enough space for future growth.

UPDATE:

• Getting closer to being weather tight
• Exterior masonry veneer is almost complete
• Roofing under way
• Interior wall framing close to complete
