The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) released design renderings for the new federal courthouse planned for Vine Street in downtown Chattanooga. The project is designed to bring several federal court functions under one roof while creating a new landmark for the city. According to News Channel 9, the proposed courthouse will total about 191,000 square feet and house the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Circuit Library. The building also will include seven courtrooms, nine judges' chambers, 40 interior parking spaces and space for federal agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Attorney's Office. GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst said the project is intended to combine security, efficiency and accessibility in a single facility. Additional project milestones, including a construction timeline, will be announced as the project moves forward.
