Broward County Courthouse

Broward County Courthouse

The new courthouse complex includes a county office building, the county jail, three courthouse buildings, an energy center and a parking garage. The 740,000-square foot court building, which will occupy a 1.55-acre portion of the campus, is 20-stories high and features 74 courtrooms and hearing rooms, as well as office space for several government agencies. The courthouse will feature state-of-the-art technology, including extensive audio-visual and evidence presentation systems for the courtrooms and office spaces. Security will be enhanced through the use of CCTV, card access, duress devices (push buttons) and entry screening security systems. Achieving a LEED Gold certification, the courthouse includes energy reductions up to 22 percent and water-use savings up to 30 percent.
