United States District Federal Courthouse - Salt Lake City Salt Lake City, UT
Project Description
The 10 story, 410,000sf structure contains 10 courtrooms, 14 judges’ chambers, two underground parking levels, the U.S. Marshals Office, the U.S. Probation Office, and a records library. The new building meets new perimeter security standards required in all new federal buildings, being set back 50ft from the street as well as blast protection. The design allows copious amounts of day lighting to assist in energy saving standards, not to mention the building’s electrical system is 34 percent more efficient than a comparable building. The 10-story atrium displays contemporary artwork of suspended hexagonal metal tubes on cables that also reflect light.
