The Cabarrus County Courthouse project brings a significant new addition to the courthouse campus while connecting to and renovating the existing structure to deliver a relevant and contextually sensitive place for justice and civic engagement within Concord’s charming downtown district. The new courthouse acknowledges the scale, rhythms, and texture of the immediate government campus and surrounding district while appropriately marking its place in the context of time. The ideas of accessibility, equity, and dignity are combined with iconic courthouse imagery of stability and order to form a more relevant center for justice.
