This project expanded and renovated the existing Champaign County Courthouse in Urbana, Illinois. The design preserved the turn-of-the-century courthouse as a downtown Urbana landmark by setting back the new construction to create a pedestrian plaza and preserve Main Street views of the courthouse. It was also essential to incorporate required space standards and organize program components and movement patterns in a manner that would provide necessary security features and support efficient court operations. This resulted in a 90,000-square-foot courthouse addition for inmate staging/holding areas, courtrooms, and court support facilities, and renovation of the 39,000-square-foot existing courthouse for court support offices. Subsequent projects restored the clock and bell tower and stabilized the exterior masonry at the historic courthouse.
