United States District Court As Federal Courthouses around the country became overcrowded, and the requirements for additional Judges and courtrooms con- tinued to grow, a move to put Courts and Judges Chambers into existing highrise office buildings was an important prototype for the country. The solution, which is a transitional design, bridges well between the demands of this first class modern highrise and the tra- ditional Courtroom required by most Judges. The raised ceilings with cove lighting and careful detailing of material allows the court- rooms to have a spacious feel while staying within the bounds of the office building struc- tural systems.
