Project Description:  10-story, 600,000 square-foot court building. Referred to as the “Cube” because of its shape, the new facility will feature 24 courtrooms and 32 justice chambers. A sky-lit central courtyard (“Light Court“) at the structure’s core will provide natural light and circulation to the building’s interior spaces. The Cube will be anchored by two levels of below-grade parking, as well as mechanical and back-of-house spaces. The design features an innovative structural engineering concept that allows the cubic volume to “float” over a stone base while being one of the nation’s safest buildings in regards to bomb threats and earthquakes.
