Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse

The ten-story glass structure features modern architectural elements across 284,000 square feet, with a prominent glass entry pavilion facing Delaware Avenue.

Construction began in October 2007 and completed in 2011, becoming the most expensive government building in Western New York at 130 million dollars.

The courthouse honors Robert H. Jackson, a Supreme Court Justice from Western New York who served as chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials.

The building houses the U.S. District Court, Court of Appeals, U.S. Probation, U.S. Marshals, and U.S. Attorney offices with secure indoor parking for 54 vehicles.

The glass entry pavilion displays all 4,536 words of the United States Constitution etched into its surface, while colored glass panels by Robert Mangold decorate the courtroom lobby.
