Delaware Chief Justice Leo Strine is looking at working with private companies to help with the construction and maintenance of new facilities in Kent and Sussex Counties.
WBOC reports that court officials say the current facilities in Dover and Georgetown are too small and do not provide the proper safety requirements.
They were built in 1988.
The plan would be similar a long-term lease but the state would own the two buildings.
Republican State Senator Brian Pettyjohn represents the Georgetown area.
He told the television station that this was not something that was nice to have but was needed to meet future needs.
The time frame and costs have not yet been determined.
