Circuit Courthouse opens in Howard County
Howard County has officially opened the new Circuit Courthouse in Maryland, USA. The construction work was completed on time and on budget through the public-private partnership, which includes construction, operation and maintenance.
The 238,000 square foot facility replaces the 175-year-old historic courthouse and is considered the largest capital project in Howard County. It features a four-story atrium, a large entryway for safety screening, and large office space. In addition, there is a courtroom for a sixth judge, a jury assembly area, and a 682-space parking garage.
In total, 100 companies and more than 2,000 workers participated in the 2-year construction. The authority awarded US$117 million in contracts to Maryland-based firms, US$22 million in contracts to Equal Business Opportunity firms, and US$19 million in contracts to Howard County-based firms.
