The 20-story new West tower has been built, but there is much more to go. Demolition of the old courthouse should begin later this year, and the garage going up in its place should be finished by late 2019. Additionally, major renovations are scheduled to begin in the East wing, basically stripping everything down in the interior, and rebuilding it. The North wing will also get new electrical systems, elevator upgrades, and more.
