Project Overview:
Completing a two-decade effort to preserve and modernize DC Courts’ Judiciary Square campus, the C Street Addition to the H. Carl Moultrie I Courthouse expands the court system while establishing a more accessible, transparent, and contemporary urban presence. It adds six state-of-the-art courtrooms, 18 associate judges’ chambers, a Chief Judge’s suite, staff offices, a childcare center, administrative support areas, holding spaces, and public space, within a limestone-and-glass extension that complements and enhances the existing building. Certified LEED BD+C Platinum, it is energy-efficient and uses high-performance landscaping to manage stormwater and create a more welcoming pedestrian experience.
