Completed: 2018
A civic landmark in downtown Provo, the Fourth Judicial District Courthouse unites multiple judicial services under one roof while embodying dignity, accessibility, and security. The eight-story facility houses Juvenile and District Courts, along with support programs such as the Guardian Ad Litem, Juvenile Probation, and Mediation Services. With sixteen courtrooms and capacity for future expansion to twenty, the courthouse occupies an entire city block, reinforcing the urban fabric of downtown and providing space for long-term growth.
Designed to balance function with presence, the courthouse emphasizes daylight, clarity of circulation, and enhanced safety. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into most courtrooms and frame views of the surrounding mountains, while careful planning ensures secure inmate circulation, protected parking, and acoustic separation of sensitive spaces. Integrated technology, modern amenities, and thoughtful detailing create a facility that reflects the permanence of the judicial system and will serve the community for decades to come.
