Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse

Built in 1905 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse required extensive renovation to extend its useful life, support current needs, and meet contemporary standards for safety and accessibility. Page’s phased modernization of the occupied landmark helped secure it as a highly desirable, sustainable asset, improving occupant comfort and security while respecting and preserving the historic building. 

Designed to look like a classic courthouse from the early 1900s, the new Anniston federal building supports the programmatic and technical needs of today’s judiciary, while meeting the local community’s request for traditional architecture. Inside, modern spaces house federal agencies and their diverse security needs—including the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, U.S. District Courts, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Attorney, U.S. Probation, and General Services Administration. 

Completed in 1934 and occupying an entire city block, the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse stands as a testament to Detroit architect Robert O. Derrick's interpretation of the Classical Modern Style. Its design balances tradition with the verticality, simplicity, and the streamlined qualities of Moderne architecture. Originally serving as Detroit’s main post office and housing seven federal courtrooms, the building evolved over time to meet the growing needs of the judiciary.

Located in Savannah’s Historic District, one of the most celebrated and significant urban design schemes in the country, the new courthouse annex creates additional judicial space for the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Georgia. It also houses offices and public interface areas for the Court Clerk, Office of Probation, and U.S. Marshal Service.
