Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building Opens in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — A ribbon cutting ceremony has been held for the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building in Fort Worth. Yates Construction provided preconstruction and construction services for the project. The downtown development consists of a public plaza and six levels, including 13 courtrooms spanning nearly 235,000 square feet. The finished building mirrors the architecture of other buildings downtown using local and regional materials. Historic elements from the original civil courts building were salvaged and are now featured on the front facade of the new civil courts building. The design and construction team utilized BIM for clash detection, verified and worked with several design models and incorporated sustainable features to pursue LEED Silver certification.
