BKL was selected to design a new courthouse for the citizens of
Mayes County. We provided full budgeting, programming, design, construction
documents, and construction services for the project. The new courthouse is
70,000 sq. ft. on three floors. It contains four full size courtrooms with
judicial chambers. All of the county offices including the Sheriff are housed
within the building. There are spacious lobbies for public circulation. It is
constructed of brick masonry and cast stone exterior walls. The interior public
spaces are terrazzo floors and solid surface wainscoting.
The new courthouse was constructed around the existing courthouse
on the courthouse square. Once it was completed and occupied the existing
courthouse was demolished. This allowed for the completion of the parking and
the “front lawn” of the new courthouse in the fall of 2006.
The building incorporates a geothermal heat pump system that
provides economical heating and cooling for the building. A unique underground
storage system was provided for on-site storm water detention. BKL was pleased
to provide all these services for the project that came in under the projected
budget. |
