Overview
Morgan County Board of Commissioners commissioned DLZ to develop a masterplan and design to revision their County government facilities. Established as a county in 1822, Morgan County celebrated their bicentennial in 2022.
Process
With a historic courthouse on the national register built in 1855-1857, the courthouse stands proud in the community, but has many needs. DLZ developed a facility study and masterplan on how to improve the historic courthouse, the ca. 1996 annex, as well as the new justice campus.
Results
The three-phase project developed a new justice campus with six courts and renovation of the annex for the related justice system such as clerk, prosecutor, probation, and Title IV-D. The historic courthouse was renovated for county administrative offices. In addition, a bicentennial park, 200 car parking lot, and a new annex for Extension, Soil & Water, and Recycling were developed.
