The construction system was a hybrid of site-cast concrete and steel frame with storefront, a very economical combination. The North (entry) elevation is markedly transparent with full-height glazing.

The Judicial Council of California (JCC) has contracted with Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture to prepare site acquisition and performance criteria documents for the New Fort Ord Courthouse. Identified as an “immediate need” by the JCC, the new courthouse will consolidate most family law, probate, and civil operations and replace three existing non-state-owned facilities. The site acquisition phase is the first step in developing the criteria document for the project and will provide information and recommendations for the evaluation of the prospective sites, with the associated documentation for each.
The New Fort Ord Courthouse will be located on a JCC-owned site in the City of Seaside. The courthouse will include seven multi-purpose courtrooms, chambers, and administrative support area. The primary programmatic elements include holding, jury assembly, alternative dispute resolution, family law and self-help services.
The project includes secured parking for judicial officers and approximately 280 surface parking spaces &#8211; a portion with solar power generation capability &#8211; and will be designed to achieve LEED Silver certification.

The entry lobby is spacious and open, providing a calm atmosphere. Full security screening is provided in the entry vestibule, eliminating need for bulletproof transaction enclosures that are common to many older, retrofitted facilities. Employees and the public alike have a very favorable reaction to the open, relaxed design of the lobby.

Ergonomics, acoustics and site lines were carefully laid out with full-scale mockups to ensure that each courtroom meets all judicial needs. Audio and video recording equipment was carefully integrated into the elegant, formal millwork of the benches.

Pre-cast concrete and stone panels comprise the clean and simple exterior skin. The scale and layout of windows are in harmony with the historic courthouse just across the street.

Simple, stainless steel railings and canopy reflect a modern design motif that is in scale with the older, historic buildings in the downtown core.
