About the Project
The San Diego United States聽Courthouse聽is an 18-story tall building that sits adjacent to the existing Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building. This state-of-the-art facility has 35 feet of subterranean detention space, parking and administrative areas. The highly specialized structure incorporates architecturally exposed聽concrete and steel with a blast-resistant terracotta, glass and metal panel fa莽ade. The 100-year lifespan design includes robust interiors聽comprised of聽cement terrazzo, stainless steel and millwork.
To enhance the new聽courthouse, the project鈥檚 2.6-acre master plan integrated the surrounding buildings, gardens, plazas, a water feature and pedestrian pathways. Service support areas are below-grade to enhance the aesthetics.
