The $258-million Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center will be right at home when its 2013 completion fulfills Denver's civic center master plan. The new judicial center, which houses the state courts complex, sits across the street from the iconic Colorado State Capitol and is a neighbor to such design giants as the City and County Building, Denver Public Library and the Denver Art Museum.
The granite-clad building features a columned facade and glass-domed atrium that complement the nearby executive and legislative buildings. The 695,767-sq-ft complex includes a 12-story office building that will consolidate seven judicial and legal agencies, improve efficiency and save money on leased space.
