The Clackamas County Courthouse is home to the Fifth Circuit Court of the Oregon Judicial Department. The existing courthouse, which was built in 1937 to house county offices and a single courtroom, has been retrofitted over the years to its present configuration of eleven courtrooms, however, further accommodation to meet the current demand for three additional courtrooms will not be possible. The over 90-year-old facility requires significant seismic upgrading and is functionally obsolete for the administration and delivery of justice services. Once completed, the new Courthouse will contain 16 courtrooms and host a number of departments including the 5th Judicial District Judges, District Attorney, Department of Human Services, State Office Public Defense, Civil Sheriff’s Office and more. The Courthouse is anticipated to be ready for occupancy in 2025.

Clackamas Courthouse project is a DBFOM which requires the selection of a consortia of firms inclusive of a design builder. It entails coordination and collaboration with the DB firm through the design and construction phase.

WT is providing upfront transactional services including engagement and management of stakeholders, program management and validation, drafting technical specifications, cost model validation, RFQ and RFP drafting, drafting of the payment mechanism and delivery of the design and construction. Most recently, the project celebrated groundbreaking construction with various elected officials in the Oregon State Justice System.
