Project Scope:

The 5th floor of the Gaston County Courthouse is being designed to upfit the existing shell space. The renovation will provide two additional courtrooms, expansion space for the District Attorney’s office, 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.
