Calgary Courts Centre, Judicial complex in Calgary, Canada.
Calgary Courts Centre is a judicial complex in Alberta with two connected towers reaching 129 meters in height. The facility contains 73 courtrooms and 94 judicial chambers distributed across 24 floors, structured around a central glass atrium.
The facility opened in 2007 and stands as Canada's largest consolidated courthouse at that time. It was developed as a major milestone in the province's judicial infrastructure, bringing all court functions together in a single location.
The building uses glass and open spaces to express accessibility, underscoring its role as a place of justice. Visitors immediately notice the bright, transparent areas that connect the interior and create a sense of openness.
The building offers extensive underground parking and electronic navigation systems to help visitors find their way through the many spaces. Those visiting a courtroom should allow extra time and follow directions carefully, as the facility's size requires some orientation.
The atrium houses 12 glass elevators running through the 26-story center, maintained at steady temperatures by advanced systems. This design keeps the interior climate stable despite Calgary's extreme weather variations outside.
