The Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center offers youth and their families best-practices care and comprehensive services, aiming always to ensure community safety and steer at-risk youth toward productive lives. The public art program includes a diverse group of site-specific permanent artworks placed throughout the building and framed wall-mounted artworks created by Alameda County artists. The artworks include 13 large hand-painted murals in the housing pods, extensive handmade ceramic tile installations, a 20-foot-tall low-relief wall sculpture containing six oil paintings, a 165-foot-long digital tile mural, and an artist-designed terrazzo floor of 8,100 square feet, plus more than 70 other framed artworks including quilts, paintings, photographs, and mixed-media pieces. The Juvenile Justice Center opened in 2007.
