Justice

Mortenson has been building correctional and government facilities for nearly 25 years. Consistently, we are ranked by Engineering News-Record among the nation’s largest builders of correctional facilities. Our portfolio ranges from maximum security to minimum security prisons, and includes courthouses and law enforcement projects. 

Mortenson has a history of superior performance and includes both new construction and expansions to fully operational facilities. These projects have demonstrated our ability to manage construction in a fully operational and secure building, find innovative and comprehensive solutions to complicated security challenges, and provide the best possible value to our customers.
