The project is a successful example of fast-tracked design-build delivery and a collaborative process. The LEED-certified courthouse is intended to improve public access to the courts, and lead by example through its environmentally conscious design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on a two-block site in downtown Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada, the Calgary Courts Centre consists of a pair of 22 and 24-story towers linked by a 26-story atrium. The project includes an underground parking garage, and incorporates a generous new urban park. The glass enclosed atrium infuses the entire building with natural light and allows for extensive views of the Rocky Mountains and downtown Calgary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre\u2019s design creates a distinct symbol for the Provincial Court, the Court of Queens Bench, and the future Court of Appeal, while housing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>73 courtrooms;<\/li><li>95 judicial chambers;<\/li><li>Court clerk and registry offices;<\/li><li>Law library;<\/li><li>Two floors of alternative dispute resolution facilities;<\/li><li>Cafeteria;<\/li><li>Counsel facilities; and<\/li><li>Extensive prisoner processing and holding areas.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>AECOM provided comprehensive planning and design of the courtrooms, closely coordinating with the design of the centre\u2019s interior.
