Document Description
The Judicial Council is proposing to construct a new courthouse to replace the existing Solano Hall of Justice (HOJ), which houses the Solano County Superior Court of California. The new courthouse would be located on the same site as the existing HOJ. The new courthouse would be approximately 141,000 square-foot building with a maximum height of five stories, approximately 86 feet in height. The existing HOJ and Co-Op buildings on site would be demolished. The new courthouse building includes courtrooms with support spaces, justice chambers, administrative and operations areas, a lobby, and a public entry. The Project also includes site improvements, including a new on-site public parking lot with 159 spaces, 17 secured parking spaces for judicial officers, and rerouted utility connections to serve the new building. The building would be designed to meet Judicial Council Trial Court Facilities Standards. The new courthouse would have roughly the same footprint as the South Wing of the existing HOJ building. The project site would have 25-foot setbacks from the property lines along all sides. No changes are proposed to the existing HOJ facility operations or operational capacity, including but not limited to the number of employees present on site, hours of operation, number of courtroom proceedings, and visitor use. The Judicial Council would purchase the property from Solano County for construction of the new courthouse.
