Cape Girardeau County Courthouse

Project Scope: New county courthouse
Owner: City of Cape Girardeau
Location: 203 High Street, Jackson, Missouri
Project Delivery: Design-Build

This 82,000-square-foot county justice center was designed and built by the Penzel Construction/TreanorHL design-build team. The courthouse features an underground parking garage, six courtrooms on two levels, a state-of-the-art security and mass notification system, LED energy-efficient lighting, and ample natural lighting.

The six courtrooms allow for the consolidation of two facilities—the former Cape Girardeau County Courthouse in Jackson and the Common Pleas Courthouse in Cape Girardeau. The $19 million facility features increased space for state courts, secure prisoner passage between the county jail and the courtroom facilities, and enhanced staff and jury areas, as well as attorney-client meeting rooms.
