Duval County Courthouse, County courthouse in Downtown Jacksonville, United States
The Duval County Courthouse spans 800,000 square feet with a postmodern architectural design featuring multiple courtrooms for circuit and county proceedings.
The current courthouse, completed in 2012, replaced several previous structures, including a wooden courthouse destroyed during the Civil War and another lost in the 1901 fire.
The facility maintains bronze sculptures titled 'Law and Order' from the previous courthouse, weighing 500 pounds each and created by Jacksonville artist Sheldon Bryan.
The courthouse complex includes public green spaces, numerous judicial offices, and secure passages for the transfer of defendants between courtrooms and holding facilities.
The courthouse construction project involved more than 400 workers and underwent significant budget modifications from its initial $190 million estimate during the planning phase.
