Project Scope:

The 5th floor of the Gaston County Courthouse is being designed to upfit the existing shell space. The renovation will accommodate 2 additional courtrooms, expansion space for the District Attorney’s office, the Family Justice Center, and other judicial support offices.

Background:

When the Gaston County Courthouse was built In 1998, the 5th floor was left as a shell space for future growth. The Administrative Office of the Courts identified a need for additional space to meet the growing needs of the community. A Space Needs Assessment was completed in 2023 which identified the need for additional courtrooms and judicial support space.
