Fall River Justice Center
Fall River, Massachusetts |
Square Footage: 154,000
Construction Cost: $64 million |
This new courthouse is located on historic South Main Street in Fall River, a former industrial town in southeastern Massachusetts with beautiful views across Mt. Hope Bay. The 154,000 square foot building serves the Superior and District Court departments and contains nine courtrooms, clerk and probation transaction offi ces, law library, jury pool and detention areas. It provides much needed secure, modern facilities to replace two separate and dysfunctional historic court buildings. The building concept reflects the public importance of a courthouse. The building contributes to the urban fabric of downtown Fall River in dignity and quality of materials. This courthouse has been designed and constructed to achieve LEED Silver Certifi cation, however, opportunities during construction make it likely to meet LEED Gold. |
