Battle McCarthy's US practice is working
with Chicago based architects, Perkins & Will to
provide a fully integrated Engineering Design service
for the new Federal Courthouse in Los Angeles, California.
The 1,000,000 sq. ft. project has an
estimated construction cost of $350 million dollars
(£209 m) and is being financed and managed by
the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). Battle
McCarthy intends to make the LA Courthouse a landmark
self-sustainable building. The new Courthouse will also
utilise specialist steel structures to create a unique
structure that is designed to withstand temperature,
gravity, wind, earthquakes and potential bomb blasts.
