Bay County Courthouse Addition

Panama City, Florida
The courthouse addition incorporated six courtrooms and support spaces, connected by a secure, climate-controlled bridge to an existing structure, with careful phasing to maintain uninterrupted building operations.

The 54,000-square-foot courthouse addition includes six courtrooms, seven judges’ chambers, hearing rooms, public spaces and court support spaces, all built over a secure parking and mechanical level. An elevated, enclosed and environmentally controlled connection links the addition to the existing courthouse and to the sally port. Carefully planned phasing allowed this major courthouse addition to be constructed while existing building services, emergency exits, and inmate delivery systems remained operational.
