Group Delta, an NV5 Company, performed a geotechnical investigation for the design of the new South Court facility as an addition to the existing courthouse for the County of Orange.
The project site is the currect home of the existing courthouse, jury assembly, library, fire station, vehicle maintenance facility, district attorney’s office and public defender’s office occupying the 28-acre property. Site is bounded on the south by Crown Valley Parkway, on the east by Alicia Parkway, on the north by Pacific Island Drive, and on the west by a graded residential slope.
The addition of the facility included 14 courtrooms for a total of 206,840 square feet, a 3-story parking garage with a total of 475 spaces, new city hall, and various At-Grade Parking areas.
