Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced that it has been recognized in the National Center for State Courts’ 2010-2020 Retrospective of Courthouse Design Series, including two project features and two case studies.
The Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River,
Minnesota, is located on 10 acres and features numerous sustainability
elements, including natural light harvesting, low-energy LED fixtures, and
paperless court operations. The design includes improved security for all
stakeholders within the building and throughout the site, as well as
circulation and wayfinding that maintains separation of court and public areas.
Still under construction, the Loudoun County Courthouse
in Leesburg, Virginia, includes a new district courts building, renovation of
two existing historic courts buildings, and the design and construction of a
parking garage. In addition to architecture and landscape architecture
services, Dewberry is providing engineering services, including civil, mechanical,
security, technology, and audio/visual design.
Dewberry Technology Design Manager Tom Craft, CTS-D,
RCDD, also authored two case studies included in the series: “Integration of
Network-Based Audio Processors and VoIP Phone Systems” and “Streaming of
Courtroom Proceedings.”
