I agree! It looks very stately.

Glass installation continuing on west, north, and NE (rotunda) sides. More stone cladding going up on western side.

What will happen to the old courthouse land?

The current courthouse is going to stay in operation.  They have been so swamped with lack of space that they figured they should keep the existing structure on Broadway as well.

I think they probably built the new one too small as well. Its like everything else here, they get it built and then realize they should have built it a third or fifty percent larger.

Now as it comes together more clearly, it does appear to be on the smaller side. Attractive building, though.

There are a number of federal agencies spread out around the city in leased office spaces because there is not enough room for them at the current federal courthouse & office building complex. Bankruptcy courts are also in the customs building.

Also, GSA has been consolidating its spaces and favoring GSA-owned buildings to leases over the past few years. All that is to say that while there will certainly be some reshuffling of the courts and other agencies once the new courthouse opens, there most likely won't be any major moves to sell or redevelop the current GSA buildings.

The glass on this one is decorative and contrasts nicely with the marble.

I came across this rendering of the entry rotunda that is new to me. Has this been posted before?

[CenterHill]

Don't think we've seen that render of the rotunda.    Love that.      I noticed this week they've begun excavating for the footings of the rotunda.   

[Craiger]

I really like the way this is looking, but I'm a bit surprised at how small it seems when driving by. Maybe the rotunda will help to give it a bit more of that 'grand federal building' feel.
