The original Court House structure, built in 1916, featured large public areas with drop beamed <br /> ceilings trimmed with ornate plaster mouldings. Retention of these and other original visual architectural features <br /> necessitated careful integration of the required new mechanical and electrical systems. <br /> The facility now houses the following Durham County departments and functions: <br /> Enclosed Parking and Receiving Clerk to the Board <br /> Canteen Dining County Commission Room and adjunct Offices <br /> Registrar of Deeds Building Inspections <br /> Tax Supervisor Engineering <br /> Board of Elections Personnel <br /> Administration Finance and Purchasing <br /> Legal Management Information Systems <br /> (computer center) <br /> In addition to providing services for a comprehensive Program Development Phase....work included new stairs, <br /> elevators,and shaftway constructions,existing floor removal and new floor construction,skylight installation(where <br /> former jail light shafts existed), and all new exterior window installations. The former attic roof area, latent with <br /> steel truss construction was transformed to useable space as well as the former two-story fourth floor jail area <br /> which received a mezzanine. These two areas added approximately 20,000 new square feet to the overall. The <br /> new Annex construction is sympathetic to the older structure in mass and detail. <br /> DATA: <br /> Size: 106,600 sq.ft. <br /> Cost: $10,000,000.00 <br /> Completion: 1991 <br /> Awards: <br /> 1994 -Document Bidability Competition <br /> Triangle Chapter of the Construction Specification Institute(CSI) <br /> 1993 Tower Award <br /> Historic Resources Committee <br /> N.C.
