Tomochichi Courthouse Tour

Presentation 1:30-2:00 (draft T&Ds subject to GSA/team approval)

Renewal of the Tomochichi Courthouse

The Tomochichi Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse – a treasured landmark in Savannah – has demonstrated a remarkable degree of resilience, having been modified and adapted to evolving needs several times in the past 120 years.  While some of its extraordinary features stood as city landmarks since the original construction, much of its interior glory was hidden away and all but forgotten.  This pre-tour overview will explain how the Owner (GSA) and its team established priorities for preservation, peeled back the layers of time, meticulously stabilized and/or restored character-defining features, and designed sensitive interventions to modernize the Courthouse for safety, security, and accessibility while also allowing for future growth.
