The new Maury County Judicial Center provides a much-needed space, security, and accessibility upgrade to the existing historic courthouse in the heart of downtown Columbia. The architect WORKSHOP team worked closely with the users and County Commission to develop a plan that addresses the needs of the growing county while also being mindful of constraints.

Consideration was given to the exterior detailing by drawing inspiration from the character and brickwork that the historic square exudes, thus shaping a new hub for the County Judicial System a few blocks away from the existing courthouse.

Construction is currently ongoing, and the building is slated to open in October 2024.
