HOME PROJECTS WILKIE D. FERGUSON JR. U.S. COURTHOUSE Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION MIAMI, FL GENERAL CONSTRUCTION WILKIE D. FERGUSON JR. U.S. COURTHOUSE PROJECT DESCRIPTION CLIENT GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION SERVICES PROVIDED GENERAL CONSTRUCTION LOCATION MIAMI, FL The new Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Courthouse is a 577,000 SF federal courthouse sitting on a two-block site and is a notable addition to the Miami skyline with the external architecture of the building resembling a ship. The eight-story curved glass form, favoring the hull of a great vessel, ties the two towers together. Adding to the unique external features of the building is the sculptured lawn area, resembling waves, designed by Maya Lin, designer of the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington, D.C. We were responsible for the demolition of a building on one block, without disruption of utilities above and below ground. We also removed hazardous materials (including asbestos) while existing space was occupied. The exterior of the fourteen-story superstructure is curtain wall, for rigidity to resist hurricane-force winds, while retaining flexibility due to blast criteria requirements. The facility contains courtrooms and chambers, U.S. Marshals offices, sally port and detention cells, office areas for U.S. Probation Office and U.S. Attorney’s Office, joint-use GSA space for conference/training rooms and food service areas. High-end interior finishes along with extensive hardscape/landscape features were included in the contract. Learn more about our Federal Solutions and other federal projects.
