The Windham District Court has been in operation for 30 years and required a complete mechanical up-grade to make the system more economical and more efficient to operate.  During the course of the mechanical upgrade, it was determined that a substantial amount of additional work was necessary to bring the building up to current standards.

WLA was asked to join the MEP team in order to provide architectural direction and develop new concepts for access, improved operations, security, code compliance and interior finishes.

 The improvements included:

• Re-working the primary public approach and entrance into the building
• Expanding the security area to improve flow into the building and improving monitoring and communications systems within the building
• Creating a new family court on the second level
• Consolidating court support staff into one area and provide better public access to support staff
• Improved lobby and public area amenities
• Improved public accessibility and improved code compliance of bathrooms
• WLA worked with a local artist to create focal points within the building
• New high efficiency lighting systems installed
