LORING provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and vertical transportation systems design for the renovation and historical restoration of this 125,000 square-foot court building.  The courthouse is five-stories with an ornate triple-domed rotunda, designed by Cass Gilbert and constructed between 1902 and 1906.  Engineering services included design for a new chiller plant, central HVAC, general electrical and lighting upgrade, plumbing improvements, modern life safety systems and elevator upgrade.

The project involved the complete replacement of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as the addition of new sprinkler systems.  Making this project even more challenging were the large murals and substantial amount of ornamental finishes throughout the building.
