JVC Architects, a Las Vegas-based architecture firm specializing in community-based design, recently announced the company has been contracted by Nye County to renovate and design an addition to the Pahrump Justice Facility at 1520 E. Basin Road.

In addition to a 4,000-square-foot renovation for the DA and clerk's office, JVC is designing three separate additions -- 12,000-square-foot justice courts, 5,000-square-foot sheriff's office and 1,400-square-foot district courts.

B&H Construction is the general contractor. Construction of the $4.7 million project is projected to begin in early summer 2009. JVC Principal in Charge Roy Burson is serving as project architect.
