This 93,000-sq-ft, three-story facility in St. George, Utah features red sandstone exterior finishes, traditional detailing, historically sensitive designs and a sloped roof to compliment other nearby buildings. The facility will house eight courtrooms with audio/video systems, judges’ chambers, offices (including probation offices), detention, clerk and storage space, and a backup data center for the State of Utah Courts System.

The site for the new courthouse was home to an elementary school that had to remain in operation until December 2007, increasing scheduling challenges for the design and construction teams. The courthouse project included coordinating street lamp design, landscape features and pedestrian and vehicle access points with a planned community plaza adjacent to the courthouse site. Slated for completion August 2009.
