The Frank E. Moss US Courthouse Seismic Upgrade, Backfill, and Renovation will seismically stabilize and modernize the historic, 118 year old, 234,000 gsf Frank E. Moss US Courthouse which has sat predominantly vacant for over 7 years, converting it into a thoughtfully preserved, highly efficient, and modern work environment for the US Bankruptcy Courts and a range of federal agencies located in private market leases.
The project's design will seek to seismically stabilize and structurally unify the building's 3 distinct eras of construction; 1905, 1912, and 1932 for the life safety of the building's occupants. Since the seismic stabilization and introduction of shear walls to accomplish this requires much of the building to be carefully dismantled and reassembled, the project will also take this opportunity to replace failing building systems with new, modern, and efficient technologies. The project will preserve significant historic spaces but also create modern work environments and amenities for the building's future federal tenants as well as the larger federal community within the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. This modernization is on track to achieve LEED Gold, with a path to LEED Platinum, by building on the 118 year old structure's inherent building characteristics, capitalizing on the climate of SLC, introducing high performing technologies, and sustainable materials. Additionally, the Moss Courthouse will utilize Inflation Reduction Act funding to install all electric mechanical systems, resulting in Net Zero Operation Carbon and a future goal of Net Zero Energy through utility-purchased renewable power. To accomplish this, GSA has partnered with the design team of HOK and Trivers.
