“ The cubic glazed volume of the LA Federal Courthouse floats above the 1st Street slope between Hill Street and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles . The site design features a notable civic expression of processional stairs and ramps that require a high level of construction precision that Shaw & Sons are known for . The entry plaza allows both visual and physical connections to the broader context of the Civic Center . The ground plane materials utilized include Combined Granite on the plazas , Form Design Walls , Stair Form and Finish and Shotcrete Method on the site walls . All of this work is part of Shaw ’ s Craftsmen Specifications . We were pleased with the exceptional quality of work and close collaboration on achieving the paving and site wall colorations and textures that our design team envisioned for the project .”
