Sacramento County, Tani Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento County Courthouse
At their most basic level, courthouses provide space for judicial proceedings to take place. However, these buildings must also project an outward appearance that upholds the community’s faith in, and respect for, the justice system. The Sacramento County, Tani Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento County Courthouse replaces an antiquated downtown courthouse with a state-of-the-art facility that brings renewed prosperity to the region while meeting the judicial needs of its growing community.
Comprised of 17 floors and 53 courtrooms, the building covers an entire city block and houses the court’s criminal and civil operations, as well as a large jury assembly room, food services and civil settlement center. The facility, which is targeting LEED Gold specifications, will also consolidate three separate administrations under one roof.
Features
The courthouse features a glass curtain wall cladding on the north side, allowing for natural sunlight in the public corridors and views of the American River.
