In 1902, the prominent local architects of Archimedes Russell and Melvin King were commissioned to design one of the most elaborate and elegant courthouses in New York State. This classical structure remains steadfast in the downtown district of Syracuse, New York.

Recent modernization efforts of the RobsonWoese engineers allowed for improvements to the building's storm and sanitary water systems, add fire protection systems and up-grade of the elevator equipment to ensure people can move efficiently. Further alterations included modifying the existing courtrooms with energy efficient lighting and state-of-the-art fire alarm system while preserving the historic nature of this grandiose structure.


This $28 million dollar project stands as an example of the good that can come from the unique partnership of the New York State court system, the City of Syracuse, and the County of Onondaga. Cohabitation within this facility includes the city and county courts, the district attorney's office, the county jury commissioner's office and the county and city court clerk's offices making it truly exceptional.

Among the many services provided by RobsonWoese, was the complex construction services extended to the owner. Special attention was given to the advanced smoke control, fire protection and HVAC systems within this modern facility. Working together, these systems ensure building occupants have a safe and secure means to exit the building in the event of a fire. The RobsonWoese constuction services team worked closely with the contractors, controls specialists, owner and local code officials to ensure these integrated systems performed as specified.
