Projects - Franklin County Courthouse

Franklin County Courthouse > Columbus, Ohio

The Franklin County Commissioners were looking for a way to replace an aging courthouse and to serve as anchor for the surrounding neighborhood. Pizzuti Solutions recognized an opportunity to use the new courthouse complex as a catalyst to key the redevelopment of the southern edges of downtown Columbus.

As Owner?s Representative, Pizzuti Solutions is working with a team of experts from around the country to oversee design and construction of the $100 million-plus project. The Pizzuti Solutions team is developing a district master plan and selecting a team that includes subject matter experts in the design and construction of a 'modern expression of a traditional courthouse.'
