U.S. General Services Administration
GSA awards $32.2 million lead design architect and architect of record contract for the new federal courthouse project in Hartford, Conn.
BOSTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded a contract for architectural and engineering services in support of the new federal courthouse project in Hartford, Conn.
After a two-stage solicitation, GSA selected Michael Maltzan Architecture for this project. Under a $32.2 million contract, the firm will provide the architectural and engineering services necessary to design and construct the new courthouse and will serve as the lead design architect and architect of record for the project.
Additionally, Michael Maltzan Architecture will team with Glastonbury, Conn.-based SLAM Collaborative to provide both local architectural support, and courts planning.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, GSA is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed siting and construction of a new Federal Courthouse in Hartford, Connecticut.
The existing courthouse, the Abraham A. Ribicoff Federal Building and Courthouse, was constructed in 1963 and does not have the space, functionality, security, and building systems to meet the current and projected needs of the Court.
The new Courthouse will provide eleven (11) courtrooms, eighteen (18) Judge chambers and offices for court-related agencies along with 66 secured parking spaces. The project will meet the 10-year space needs of the courts and court-related agencies and will accommodate expansion to meet the anticipated 30-year needs of the courts.
