Construction Projects     Municipal Facilities Construction Morgan County Courthouse  The original Morgan County Courthouse was destroyed by fire in August of 2006. The rebuilding of the courthouse has been the subject of widespread media attention in the region including numerous articles in the local newspapers as well as coverage by NBC television. MCSI broke ground on the project in September 2008 and will complete construction in the spring of 2010. The 47,000 SF three-story facility will be fully accessible by persons with disabilities. The exterior will feature a traditional facade with brick and stone veneer, decorative aluminum cornice, and architectural precast elements. The building will house civil, criminal and juvenile courtrooms, records storage vaults, holding cells and various county offices. In keeping with the trend towards energy efficiency, the heat source for this facility is a geothermal heat exchange system. The building will also have backup emergency generator capabilities in the event of a power loss. click to enlarge Owner: Morgan County Commission Architect: Silling Associates, Inc.
