Three architecture firms revealed their designs for a future Long Beach Courthouse this week. A final decision on the official design will be made in March.
Estimates put construction beginning in September 2010, with the building opening in the Fall of 2012.
“The private-public partnership being used to finance this courthouse is a great example of how to
pursue infrastructure improvements in recessionary times,” said Charles W. McCoy, Jr., Presiding
Judge, Superior Court of Los Angeles County in a press release.
The Press-Telegram today linked to this video produced by California Courts News, which provides 3-dimensional views of all the designs as well as interviews with officials from the Administrative Office of the Courts, who will make the final decision.
