The Commonwealth Courts Building will be the new judicial facility for the highest courts in Virginia, housing both the VA Supreme Court and the VA Court of Appeals. It is a replacement facility for the existing Courts Building located in Richmond, VA. It will contain courtrooms for both courts, as well as chambers for Supreme Court Judges, Court of Appeals Judges, and Senior Judges. It will also house the Virginia State Law Library, a Public Learning Center, Clerks and Attorney offices for both courts, and the offices of the Executive Secretary. The building will include enhanced security features as well as onsite secure parking for Judges. It is seeking LEED Certification. New construction square footage is 295,159 sq. This project will include the demolition, shoring, and required dewatering for the existing Pocahontas building, including both the 6-story East structure built in 1962 and the 14th story West Tower built in 1923. This demolition will require services to be terminated to both east and west towers to be cut and capped for use in the new facility. The demolition of the east tower will have a high level of complexity as it is adjacent to the fully operational Commonwealth Hotel. The project has frontage on four operational streets: Main Street, 9th Street, 10th Street, and Bank Street, as well as close proximity to the Capitol Square and the Federal Court of Appeals.
