During the same workshop, county staff announced a phased space-utilization review of the Brazos County Court Administrative Building and requested a brief recess to inspect the sanctuary in person.

A staff presenter said he and colleague Trevor have organized the work in phases, with Phase 1 focusing “strictly on the sanctuary and the two stories in the new court and this wing” so the county can move departments in an orderly way. The court then recessed for a 10-minute field inspection of the sanctuary and returned to continue the presentation.

Outcome: The court recessed and conducted an on-site inspection of the sanctuary as the first step in a multi-phase space-utilization plan. Staff indicated subsequent presentation and discussion would follow after the site visit.

Why it matters: The county is preparing to reorganize offices near the courthouse annex; an on-site inspection will inform departmental moves and space planning decisions.

Next steps: Staff will continue Phase 1 assessments and present recommendations to the court at a future workshop.
