Project Overview
The Montgomery County Justice Center is a comprehensive renovation and expansion of the County’s historic courthouse campus in downtown Norristown. The approximately 510,000-square-foot development combines restored historic spaces with a new 322,500-square-foot courthouse building, consolidating judicial and administrative operations within a modern civic campus.
A glass-enclosed atrium will connect the historic courthouse with the new building, creating a more open and welcoming public entrance. The project also includes modern court facilities, updated building systems, improved accessibility, sustainable design features, and a renewed public landscape centered around Hancock Square Park.
