The Multnomah County Justice Center, or simply Justice Center, is a building located at 1120 Southwest 3rd Avenue in Portland, Oregon, United States. The building was designed by ZGF Architects.[1] It is adjacent to Lownsdale Square in downtown Portland.

The building houses Portland Police Bureau's (PPB) Central Precinct on the bottom floors,[2] followed by the Multnomah County Detention Center (one of the two county jails)[3] and PPB's headquarters on the top floors. It also contains four court rooms of the Multnomah County Circuit Court, used mainly for arraignments.[4] It was partially built with highway funds when Rocky Butte Jail was demolished to make way for Interstate 205.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

Many of the George Floyd and police brutality protests in Portland were centered near the building.[citation needed]
