The Catonsville District Court is a new, 125,784 SF building that will house seven courtrooms, two pre-trial hearing rooms, a department of juvenile services, parole and probation services, public defenders offices, judicial chambers, and associated administrative and support spaces. The space is designed to keep the circulation of the public, judges, and security completely separated. A 425 space parking garage is provided for the public while judges parking will be located below the building. To maximize security measures, a separate sally port and holding area will be provided for secure access to and from the building.

Sustainable features include a highly efficient HVAC system and low-flow plumbing fixtures. An enhanced site design was implemented to restore the surrounding habitat and tree coverage, as well as to effectively manage stormwater. This design scheme will provide plenty of outdoor space to be enjoyed by all who use the building.
