Document Description
The Proposed Project would involve construction of a new approximately 145,000-square-foot, five-story, modern and secure courthouse to replace the existing Courthouse Annex building owned by San Luis Obispo County. The Proposed Project would consolidate court operations for court administrative staff offices that have been divided into off-site locations because of space limitations. The Proposed Project would involve demolition of two buildings and construction of a new 12-courtroom (four large courtrooms and eight multipurpose courtrooms) courthouse of approximately 145,000 square feet using a design-build delivery method. The project would include 17 secured parking spaces within the building: 15 for judicial officers and two for executive staff. Juror, public, and staff parking would continue to be available at the City’s public parking garages, as currently being utilized for the existing downtown courthouse facilities.
