| The new U.S. Federal Courthouse forms a spiraling cresent around ancient Cooper Beech and Linden trees original to the site. A colonnaded entry pavillion leads to a curved collonade for pedestrains and the grand stair, which leads to the courtrooms on hte building's third public level. Judges chambers will be located in a parsonage-like annex. The facade is a combination of limestone precast and glass with a three-story circular colonnade. This is built out of 40ft precast columns faced by a custom designed curtain wall. The main entrance is also bordered by an all-glass pavillion structure. The building satisfies security measures for a Federal Courthouse. |
