LaPorte County Courthouse Renovation and Expansion
Michigan City, Indiana
American Structurepoint designed a $21 million renovation/expansion of the historic LaPorte County Courthouse, built in 1909. We provided architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, structural and civil engineering, and surveying services for over 30,000 sft, with oversight of geotechnical, mechanical, and electrical engineering; plumbing; and fire protection. American Structurepoint also designed a 23,000-sft addition to the courthouse. All courthouse areas were renovated to consolidate space for several LaPorte County offices currently located in a nearby building. The program includes renovating and providing space for the Auditor’s Office, Treasurer’s Office, Assessor’s Office, LaPorte County Health Department, adult and juvenile Probation Department, IT, Prosecutor’s Office, and Sheriff Department.
The existing courthouse stairways, elevators, and restrooms were redesigned to be compliant with the federal American with Disabilities Act. Two existing courtrooms were enlarged and renovated. Two new courtrooms were added, maintaining the second level for superior courts. A hearing room was located on the third floor. A new inmate holding area, secure lobby entrance, and secure parking area for judges was part of the new addition. After the project was initiated, American Structurepoint provided additional services to the County in the selection of the construction manager. This project is being delivered through the CMc process.
