ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material Fits Design Balance at Federal Courthouse<\/p>\n

The new United States Courthouse in downtown Jacksonville, FL, projects a design balance that relates well to the structure\u2019s historical context, as well as contemporary considerations.<\/p>\n

Some contemporary materials were chosen that would help convey the permanence and dignity of the courts while calling to mind detail found in the old federal courthouse dating back to the \u201930s. A suggestion of art deco detailing is also seen in the new U.S. Courthouse which was opened in early 2003.<\/p>\n

ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material was chosen as the trim and accent part of the curtainwall system, as well as eyebrows, parapets and fins at the top of the structure.<\/p>\n

\"Alucobond,<\/a><\/p>\n

As one of the first courthouses designed after the Oklahoma City bombing, blast-resistance and security were important considerations. A unitized curtainwall system, which was designed to meet demanding blast criteria and glazed in the factory, provides a curved, reflecting frontage. Other exterior materials include pre-cast concrete. Various types of metal ranging from stainless steel to ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material are also used inside to help carry the design theme, with ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material being used in the ceiling and mullion system.<\/p>\n

Approximately 87,000 sq. ft. of ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material in 4mm panels were used on the project in colors of custom silver gray and silver metallic. ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material is an aluminum composite material (ACM) consisting of two sheets of .020\u201d aluminum bonded to a thermoplastic core. The ALUCOBOND\u00ae Material was fabricated by Kistler-McDougall Corp., Atlanta, and installed by Masonry Arts, Birmingham.<\/p>\n

At a cost of more than $80 million, the 15-floor courthouse offers approximately 457,000 sq. ft. of space for 17 courtrooms (district, circuit, magistrate and bankruptcy). Space is provided for federal agencies including the U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Attorneys office, U.S. Probation office, and support services.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Courthouse was a project of HLM Design, Orlando, which involves architects, engineers, interior designers and landscape architects in delivering design services internationally. KBJ Architects, Jacksonville, were associate architects. Building owner is the General Services Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
