Phase I of $121.5M Norfolk Consolidated Courts Complex Opens

NORFOLK, VA. — The city of Norfolk has opened the first phase of the Norfolk Consolidated Courts Complex, a 315,000-square-foot complex that combines three courthouses into one. Both phases will cost approximately $121.5 million to develop. The eight-story Phase I will consolidate the Circuit and General District courts into a single facility. Phase II, which is slated for an early 2017 completion, will add the Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts. The design team, including architect Fentress Architects and general contractors Archer Western and Heery International, is constructing the complex to achieve LEED Silver certification.
