Project overview
A contemporary center for Pueblo County’s judicial services.
The Dennis Maes Judicial Building was developed to consolidate and modernize Pueblo County’s judicial facilities. Named after former county commissioner Dennis Maes, the courthouse brings District Court, County Court, jury operations, judicial administration and Sheriff judicial services together in one civic building.
Designed by DLR Group, the courthouse offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional American “courthouse on the green.” Its defining feature is a large glass entrance rotunda, serving as both a public gathering space and a central point of orientation.
