San Bernardino County Courthouse

San Bernardino, CA

Originally slated for demolition, this historic landmark built in 1926 has been in use without interruption since its original construction. This multi-phased renovation project called for the seismic retrofit, partial interior remodel and historic renovation of more than 194,000 sq ft of the existing county courthouse. The construction took place in two fully occupied and operational buildings with more than 500 staff members and daily occupancy exceeding 3,000 people. The project was phased so that only three courtrooms were closed at any given time, keeping the courthouse fully operational. The project team committed to work nights and weekends as a standard schedule in order to keep the buildings in operation.
