The Cook County Criminal Courts' Buildings, both the Administration Building and the Old Courthouse, like all other County Courts, are municipal assets, with important and significant message and image. Roula Associates Architects was hired by the County to repair the Plaza drainage and waterproofing system due to the age of it. Besides the renovation of the technical aspects of the Plaza RAAC designed a welcoming comfortable space, which communicates the significance of the Courts' buildings. It creates an identifiable entrance to the building, improves safety, and is user friendly, respectful and pleasant thru an assembly of new trees, benches and a unique lighting concept, which will guide the User to the entrance.
