Dorchester County Courthouse
Our firm designed a progressive, state-of-the-art courthouse within the context of a small, rural county setting. Special emphasis was given to separating the building’s three main areas: public, judge and jury and security.
The County’s new courthouse was the initial phase and centerpiece of an 80-acre master plan and established the architectural language for subsequent structures, all characterized by traditional styling.
Key facilities include four new courtrooms, Clerk of Court, judges suites, jury deliberation suites, a jury assembly room, holding cell and security area.
"Even with strict budgeting constraints, Stevens & Wilkinson designed a handsome building that will be a source of pride for our community. The firm provided an efficient plan that answered all of the functional needs without wasting space. Additionally, the team always kept safety as a number one priority in the court and building layout.”
The new Dorchester County Courthouse is a 44,000 square foot facility with four courtrooms, judges and jury suites, and Clerk of Court.
