United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Downtown Austin, United States.
The eight-story United States Courthouse spans an entire city block west of Republic Square Park, featuring a cubic form with limestone and zinc exterior panels.
The 2012 courthouse replaced a 1936 structure as part of an economic stimulus initiative, marking a new chapter in Austin's federal architecture development.
A large glass installation by artist Clifford Ross combines photographs of Colorado mountains and Texas landscapes, linking the lobby with the jury assembly room.
The building contains eight courtrooms distributed across upper floors, with each level featuring one district and one magistrate courtroom sharing public areas.
Interior spaces incorporate double-height ceilings and strategic window placement, allowing natural light to enter courtrooms from multiple angles through geometric recesses.
