2. Maricopa County Court Tower
Project Cost: $252.5 Million
This steel-framed, 14-story building (plus two additional levels below grade) is being built to meet or exceed LEED-NC v. 3.0 silver. The 695,000-sq-ft tower includes a new vehicular sallyport and central holding area, campus-wide control center, in-custody holding areas and circulation systems and separate entrances for staff and the public. A jury assembly room will serve the entire criminal court complex and will be fitted with state-of-the-art technology which will allow the tower to serve as the hub for the County�s campus-like approach. The project will eventually house 32 courtrooms, but ten of those will be shelled for future completion.
