The new six-story, 217,000-square-foot building is designed to replace the existing 54-year-old Courts of Appeal building. It will accommodate a courtroom for the Supreme Court of Maryland, three courtrooms for the Appellate Court of Maryland, and will also include chambers and office spaces for the judges of both courts. The design emphasizes sustainability, with the facility targeted to achieve LEED Silver certification and planned to be fully electric. Enhanced security and emergency response systems are integrated to ensure the safety of all individuals within the building. Additionally, the new structure will house a law library and a Maryland law history museum, serving as a hub for legal scholarship and public education.
The project contract was approved by the Board of Public Works in December 2025, with Bethesda-based Coakley & Williams Construction selected as the primary contractor. This construction firm will work with 13 certified minority business enterprise firms and 3 certified veteran-owned small business enterprise firms as subcontractors, representing nearly $74 million in subcontracting value. This approach reflects a commitment to diversity and inclusion in state projects.
The construction of this new judicial center is intended to symbolize Maryland’s dedication to justice, fairness, and the rule of law. Upon completion, the building is expected to serve as a lasting landmark, providing an accessible and transparent environment for legal proceedings and reflecting the values of the state’s judicial system for generations to come.
