San Bernardino Courthouse
Owner : Architect : General Contractor :
Judicial Council of California Skidmore , Owings & Merrill Rudolph & Sletten
The San Bernardino Courthouse complex occupies a total of 361,700 square feet on a seven-acre site . The project consists of two building elements : an 11-story courtroom tower visible on the skyline , and a linear , three-story podium that holds the street edge and correlates to the scale of an adjacent historic courthouse . As the most significant single building project to occur in San Bernardino in decades , the Justice Center creates a visible landmark for the city while engaging the public with vibrant open space .
Signature quality is always important to us . Positive reviews are received not only from owners and architects , but also from other trades who compliment Shaw & Sons personnel as helpful to their trade and recognize the high quality of our work . San Bernardino Courthouse used all white cement for high solar reflectivity , minimizing the heat island effect . Walls were a smooth form finish to contrast with the burlap finish on all the paving .
