Ukiah Courthouse Tops Out
Construction Remains on Track for 2027 Completion
Excerpts:
“With the structure now taking shape, the community can begin to see the courthouse as it was envisioned—a civic landmark designed to serve Mendocino County for generations. The design-build approach has allowed us to integrate design and construction seamlessly, keeping the project efficient and on track as we transition from steel framing to the next phases of work,” said Project Architect Kahyun Lee of Fentress Studios, a Populous Company.
“Reaching the topping out milestone reflects the dedication of everyone involved—community leaders, designers, builders, and so many others. Through collaboration and the design-build process, we’re keeping the new Mendocino County Courthouse on track and true to its vision,” said John Kudrycki, Principal Project Manager at Fentress Studios.
“Architecture has the power to shape how communities experience civic life. With the new Mendocino County Courthouse, we sought to create more than a place of justice—we aspired to design a building that feels accessible, humane, and connected to community,” said Curtis Fentress, Principal-in-Charge of Design at Fentress Studios.
