Project Description

The 704,000-square-foot San Diego Central Courthouse was the largest project funded through Senate Bill 1407, which finances new and renovated court facilities using court user fees rather than the state’s general fund. The 71-courtroom, high-rise building provides the local community with a large, modern facility with high security features.

The Superior Court of California San Diego consolidates San Diego County’s criminal trial, family, civil, and probate courts into a 24-story downtown tower. Working with the client, the project team delivered on several key owner objectives, including flexible, adaptable spaces; a landmark design that celebrates the skyline; and an enhanced seismic design.

The building replaces the former courthouse, family court and Madge Bradley Court, and is an important part of a modernization of San Diego’s downtown government district. The project achieved LEED Silver NC.

“Several of the veteran industry professionals visiting from across the nation commented that this was among the cleanest, if not the cleanest project they had seen. Having walked the job as a guest of the owner in January, I was proud to assure them that this was not an anomaly for the benefit of our tour, but rather the norm for R&S.”
