Adair County Courthouse
The $9.8 million, 35,493 square foot Adair county courthouse has become a new icon in the downtown environment. Masonry, cast stone, and other substantial materials clad this new building providing familiar materials and aesthetics while allowing a more modern element into the façade.
While the interior of the facility is designed to reflect the tradition of the courts, durable materials with rich finishes will inspire those who visit the facility. Of course, security is a prime concern, and the design implements three-path circulation methods to allow the public, staff, and prisoners to remain separate the entire time they are in the facility.
