ERA provided structural engineering services for the Sherburne County Government Center expansion project, which enhanced the county’s administrative capabilities.

The project was multi-faceted, including the construction of a new three-story building, an in-custody connection, renovation of existing structures, and site work. The new construction featured a slab-on-grade foundation with conventional spread footings. ERA’s structural design incorporated a hybrid system of precast components, steel beams, and joists supporting metal deck or composite deck, optimizing space utilization and structural efficiency. Implemented in two phases, the project first added a new courthouse to the existing government center and then renovated existing office spaces, minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. The project was completed in 2018 at an estimated cost of $63 million, and addressed Sherburne County’s growing staff and space requirements, increasing capacity and modernizing infrastructure to meet current and future administrative needs.
