Yeah it is massive. I think I heard ~ 165,000 SF mentioned during the tour. It is 5 stories above grade, but really 7 total if you include the basement and the penthouse. The first floor is raised 8 ft. above grade (for security reasons) and some of the floors are 18 ft. floor-to-floor, so it is quite tall too, for a 5 story building. Case in point, those white columns on the front (south) façade are 90-ft. tall, single continuous pieces. The facility will contain 11 courtrooms and basement parking & holding cells.
