Scope Of Work
This design-build two-story, 57,000-square-foot building included two courtrooms, judges’ chambers, detention cells, and administrative areas for the U.S. Courts and Marshals Service.
The building’s modern design put a Southwestern twist on the classic American courthouse. The exterior is clad in locally sourced sandstone, masonry and stone, and “living walls” made of vines are being planted on steel trellises to shade windows. The building includes a 10,000-square-foot canopy made of photovoltaic panels that provide shade while generating one quarter of the building’s electrical needs.
