Delivered through a unique public-private partnership agreement between Long Beach Judicial Partners LLC (LBJP) and the Judicial Council of California, the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse is the first social infrastructure project in the United States procured under the principles of Performance-Based Infrastructure (PBI) contracting.

The striking public entrance boasts a five-level atrium enclosed on two ends by cable-supported glass walls; the largest system of this type in Southern California. Overhead, pedestrian bridges enable county justice agency staff to move quickly to and from the courtrooms. Defendants in custody move through separate corridors from an underground holding area.
