I'm guessing they would add some kind of entrance pavilion facing State Street, to allow for a more robust security checkpoint that is not directly under the Dirksen tower. Entrances on Dearborn would be closed off.
So the plaza wouldn't be dead, per se... you'd have plenty of people entering/exiting the courthouse on that side, and occasionally lots of media for high-profile trials.
