Glenn County Courthouse

CASE STUDY / GLENN COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Built in 1894 with one courtroom, Glenn County Courthouse was rehabilitated and expanded with a 26,000-square-foot addition, increasing capacity to three courtrooms. The Courthouse is a local landmark, on the California Register, and National Register-eligible. Before this project, the Superior Court of Glenn County operated from three facilities in Willows and Orland. The project consolidated criminal, civil, family law, and other court and community services at the historic Glenn County Courthouse, improving security, efficiency, functionality, and public access.

“

These courthouses provide much-needed improvements to court services and will help ensure that we can live up to our promise of providing safe, secure, and equal access to justice for people throughout the state.” Patricia Guerrero, California Chief Justice

CASE STUDY / ORIGINAL BUILDING

HISTORIC

BEFORE

The historic building was painted in a color scheme that recalls the color of the natural “Colusa sandstone” of the original, and the addition, sited behind the original building, is deferential to the historic building. Built of masonry with wood floor and roof framing, the courthouse was in good condition despite the removal of its cupola in the 1950s.

CASE STUDY / IMPROVING FUNCTIONALITY

The project rehabilitated and seismically strengthened the 15,800-square-foot historic courthouse, removed several small additions, and added a contemporary 26,000-square-foot wing. The expanded courthouse provides three courtrooms, judges’ chambers, clerical offices, jury assembly areas, and public support spaces.

Rehabilitated facade with concealed access ramp and building signage.

Built in 1894 and expanded with an annex in the 1960s, the courthouse was designed by master architect John Curtis with A.A. Bennett. It is one of only two surviving examples of the influential Curtis and Bennett courthouse type—and the only remaining example in its original, unaltered form.

CASE STUDY / CONTEXTUAL INFILL

The constrained L-shaped site required a creative response to current California Trial Court Standards. Placed behind the courthouse, the addition complements the historic architecture while preserving the 1894 building’s prominence. The addition’s curtain wall provides north facing natural light to the public circulation.

CASE STUDY / MAIN THOROUGHFARE

BEFORE

The elevator was relocated to open up the hallway. A new glass wall at the main entry provides both visual continuity and security.

CASE STUDY / THE OLD AND THE NEW

BEFORE

Existing MEP systems were replaced, security was upgraded, and circulation was improved to seamlessly connect the historic and new buildings. Furnishings and interior finishes balance the aesthetics of the new and old. Historic stair, before and after renovation. A new handrail was added to meet current code regulations.

CASE STUDY / HISTORIC COURTROOM

The original courtroom retained its historic configuration but was updated with a new coffered ceiling, LED lighting, integrated audio/visual systems, furnishings, and efficient HVAC systems.
