This five-story, state of the art $41 million facility, is approximately 160,000 sq. ft., has five courtrooms and is home to Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit Court. The fifth floor houses the entire State Attorney’s office which used to be located in an adjacent (4) story building that was antiquated and inefficient. We condensed and upgraded all of their spaces. The new building is home to (4) new courtrooms and one of them is considerably larger to handle the high profile cases. Of course the Judge’s chambers, conference rooms and appropriate spaces for the support staff were also provided. This project is actually an addition to the existing Judicial Center and the design takes into account future addition and growth. Life safety, emergency communication, mechanical, vertical transportation, mechanical and electrical systems were all designed and coordinated. Material selections were carefully selected as this is Ocala and Marion County’s most prominent and important project.
