“The grand opening of the new Federal Courthouse was recently held, marking the end of a highly anticipated project that took decades to plan. The $89 million contract went to a team led by W.G. Yates & Sons, which oversaw the construction project from its office in Biloxi, Miss. In addition, architectural firms from Washington, D.C., URS and Hartman-Cox Architects, were also part of the team.”

“Lee Becker, a partner with Hartman-Cox Architects in Washington, told Mobilians that his firm envisions the building serving as a “bridge” between the overlapping central business district and the De Tonti Square Historic District. He said the design team spent time in Mobile getting to know the surroundings and the history.”
“Our goal is to try to understand the character of the place and design a building that fits Mobile. Our goal here is to have this be the best experience of government that works.”
